Bacterial disease of Prunus plants
Xanthomonas pruni (syn. Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni , syn. Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni ) is a bacterial disease of almost all Prunus .
Hosts
Almost all Prunus spp.[ 1]
Distribution
Unknown in stonefruit in California until detection in Sacramento and northern San Joaquin Valley in the spring of 2013.[ 1] As of 2017[update] it is still restricted to those two areas.[ 2] Also found in almond cultivation in Victoria, Australia .[ 3]
Detection
Palacio-Bielsa et al. , 2011 provides a SYBR Green I -based assay .[ 4] : 90
Management
Copper [ 3] and mancozeb are recommended in California for almonds[ 2] and have served well elsewhere.[ 3] No pesticides are registered for almonds anywhere in Australia.[ 3]
Phage therapy has been heavily studied for X. pruni and some treatments have been very successful.[ 5] [ 6] Civerolo & Keil performed several experiments in the 1970s with Xanthomonas pruni phage showing that peach and apricot were protected by external applications of solution.[ 7]
Resistance
Resistance to copper has occurred.[ 2] No copper resistance as of August 2017[update] in California.[ 2] Rotation or tank mixing is recommended to forestall resistance .[ 2]
