Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Four asymptomatic mother plants stayed asymptomatic fifteen months after the final inoculation.
- Observation Nematodes were extracted from only a single mother plant fifteen months after the last inoculation.
- Observation Years later none of the mother plants or their cuttings contained nematodes.
- Observation Only 16.5% of the asymptomatic plants of resistant clones contained nematodes.
- Recommendation Producing pine wood nematode-free resistant plants by grafting or cutting is crucial to control pine wilt disease progression.
