Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Two chemical additives, CB2 and CB3, greatly increased the effectiveness of copper in killing blight bacteria in laboratory tests.
- Observation Many walnut buds were colonized by a yeast and a whitish bacterium.
- Observation Copper-tolerant walnut blight bacteria could still be killed at higher dosages of copper.
- Observation Copper tolerance of the blight bacteria appears to be somewhat transient and not to remain for long periods.
- Recommendation A reduced amount of copper could be used to control walnut blight.
- Mechanism Two chemical additives, CB2 and CB3, are thought to affect the ability of the blight bacteria to take up copper ions.
