- Intervention effect In high-density plantings, pruning programs were mostly ineffective against fire blight.
- Observation In high-density plantings, fire blight spread quickly throughout the trees and planting.
- Intervention effect The most aggressive pruning programs, which removed several seasons of growth, had the greatest impact on fire blight in both plantings.
- Intervention effect Sanitation or chemical management supplementation was not necessarily beneficial for shoot blight management.
