Abstract

Alternatives to streptomycin for control of blossom blight have been tested in research conditions in small replicated plots with natural inoculation and have shown some promise for controlling the blossom blight phase of fire blight in apples and pears.
Copper in combination with mancozeb was one alternative demonstrated in growers commercial orchards with natural inoculum pressure.
Under conditions of low disease pressure with low inoculum or cool bloom temperatures, the copper treatments were as effective as streptomycin.
But when there were infection conditions predicted by the MARYBLYT disease model, streptomycin provided greater protection than alternatives.
Streptomycin remains the best material to prevent epidemics of blossom blight in apples and pears but use must be limited to high disease pressure conditions.
