Description
- Purpose
- The purpose is to mitigate the effect of pathogens in the nursery setting, and specifically addresses objective 1 as the aim is to develop science-based best management practices and risk mitigation practices to exclude, contain, and control regulated pests from the nursery production chain.
- Activities
- Tasks and activities the project director (PD) will carry out in implementing this project are: evaluate options for changing nursery management practices to reduce the likelihood of leafhopper transmission of CA. P. Pruni infection to young trees that are sold to growers. To do so, we propose to establish a replicated series of trials of young sweet cherry (prunus avium L.) trees and subject them to different growing treatments to examine the effect of leafhopper and CA. P pruni incidence over time. Deliverables and expected outcomes: the cooperator seeks to conduct a program which is expected to result in two major outcomes. First, this project will enable science-based changes to occur to state nursery stock certification programs across the country because currently, the focus is on scouting and pathogen testing in the 'mother' or 'G2' trees. This is because the programs were developed at a time when pathogens that cause clear symptoms on the leaves or bark were considered the major threat, and fruit affecting disorders were rare and poorly understood. Further, the primary means of transmission was thought to be by grafting, and therefore management at the mother plant level was thought to be sufficient. The current approach is not sufficient for CA. P. Prun I management as IT produces symptoms only on the fruit, which young plants do not produce, and is highly vector transmissible. Given the significant numbers of nursery production trees in washington state alone, having management options that control the infection rate and reduce the need for testing will make the certification program costs more palatable to the states and to participating nurseries. Intended beneficiary(IES): growers, fruit industry nurseries, consumers. Subrecipient activities, if known or specified at the time of award: N/a
