Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Pear degeneration increasingly jeopardizes production in Emilia Romagna.
- Association Surveys associated orchard management with manifestation of pear degeneration.
- Mechanism The authors relate pear degeneration to soil structure loss and reduced root function.
- Observation Abbé Fetel on dwarf rootstocks shows insufficient root growth.
- Mechanism Cancers extending into pear branches and stems limit flow to roots and cause tree decay.
- Observation Pear root systems showed general decay with proliferation of varied microorganisms but no dominant biotic factor.
