Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Of spray-treated cankers, 42 to 76% were infected by applied hypovirulent conidia after fourteen months.
- Observation Of cankers exposed to a sporulating dead stem, 50 to 60% were infected by the applied hypovirulent conidia after fourteen months.
- Association Virus infection reduced canker expansion.
- Association Virus infection promoted canker healing (callusing).
- Association Fresh chestnut dead wood may support the successful spread of natural hypovirulence in chestnut forests.
- Association Applying virus-infected conidial suspensions may promote the establishment of artificially released hypoviruses in chestnut stands.
