Creator:: Nemec, Stanley, Jr.
Abstract:: Knowledge of the viruses which are mechanically transmitted from pear to herbaceous plants and the diseases they cause in pear is not complete. This thesis discusses the means used to mechanically transmit pear viruses, the properties of those viruses and their relationships with latent viruses of apple. Herbaceous plant virus...

Creator:: Ostrowski, Richard Carl
Abstract:: Since 1948, pear decline has been responsible for the devitalization and death of many pear trees in the Pacific Coast states and British Columbia. Use of anatomical abnormalities of the graft union as a diagnostic technique to separate pear decline from other disorders exhibiting similar symptoms was evaluated. Modifications in...

Creator:: Sugar, David
Abstract:: Potential sources of inoculum of Phialophora malorum were investigated. P. malorum was found to be a soil-borne fungus whose role as a postharvest pathogen of pear is dependent upon passive dispersal with infested soil. P. malorum survived in soil under a wide range of conditions, with greatest survival in cool,...

Creator:: Jorgensen, Clive Darrel
Abstract:: The ecological interrelationships of mites occurring in and near the Hood River Valley, Oregon, pome fruit orchards were investigated to determine the possibility of an integrated control program using the species already present. Survey sampling methods were used to study mites on wild hosts (Crataegus douglasii Lindl., Crataegus columbiana Howell,...

Creator:: Gut, Larry J.
Abstract:: Arthropod communities in pear are conceptualized as hierarchically organized systems in which several levels of organization or subsystems can be recognized between the species population level and the community as a whole. An individual tree is taken to be the community habitat with arthropod subcommunities developing on leaf, fruit and...

Creator:: Whitesides, Steven K.
Abstract:: Conditions were established for inducing pear blossom blast caused by Pseudomonas syringae (Ps) on both attached and detached shoots. The incidence of disease was proportional to the log of Ps population under optimal temperature, moisture and bloom developmental stage. Highest incidence of infection followed occurrence of a major exotherm in...

Creator:: Marti, Santiago Marti
Abstract:: The biology and behavior of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was studied to determine factors responsible for differences in susceptibility to moth damage among apple and pear cultivars. In release experiments, codling moth adults were intercepted in significantly greater numbers in host (apple, pear) than in non-host (maple) trees,...
