Effect of temperature on spore viability of <i>Neonectria ditissima</i>
The fungus Neonectria ditissima causes European canker on apple and pear trees in temperate regions The thermal death point of ascospores and conidia of this pathogen is unknown In this study ascospores and conidia were exposed to six temperatures between 20C and 50C for seven time intervals between 5 min and 24 h The viability of the spore ...

Effect of freezing of <i>Neonectria ditissima</i> inoculum on its pathogenicity
The fungus Neonectria ditissima causes European canker of apple To determine the pathogenicity of different isolates conidial inoculum of each isolate needs to be prepared Freezing inoculum ensures that conidia do not germinate before inoculation and facilitates screening of large numbers of isolates In this study conidial suspensions of three ...

How many conidia are required for wound infection of apple plants by Neonectria ditissima
A series of experiments, using potted plants in a glasshouse, detached laterals in the laboratory and trees in the field, were undertaken to study wound size and number of Neonectria ditissima conidia required to produce European canker infections on ...

Seasonal susceptibility of apple trees to Neonectria ditissima wound infections
European canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima, is an important disease of apple in the temperate climate of southern Brazil. Monthly inoculations of this fungus were carried out on various wound types on cvs ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ over two productive cycles
