Occurrence of phytoplasma in pear orchards in Belarus
Abstract
A survey was conducted on the presence of phytoplasmas in pear orchards in Belarus. Overall, 203 samples (108 genotypes) of symptomatic or depressed pear trees were tested. According to the results of the survey and testing, the presence of phytoplasma in pear orchards was found in all investigated areas: Brest, Gomel, Minsk, Mogilev.
