- Observation Healthy and moderately stressed plants had predawn water potential above turgor loss.
- Association Plants with over 60% crown dieback had water potentials as low as −12 MPa.
- Association Pythium was isolated from root vascular tissue of all stressed plants and absent from healthy plants.
- Mechanism Pathogen effects were considered the proximate cause of stress.
