- The olive knot pathogen, Pseudomonas savastanoi, affects olive trees by causing galls that can lead to shoot death, with fresh wounds, especially leaf scars, being the primary entry points for infection.
- Research conducted from 1997 to 2000 showed that the incidence of disease increased after leaves were removed, particularly in specific months, and was positively correlated with spring rainfall.
- The study found that multiple applications of the copper bactericide Kocide DF40 improved disease control significantly, suggesting that one post-harvest treatment is not sufficient for effective olive knot management.
Fruit of almond cultivar Mission were aerosol-spray inoculated with aqueous suspensions containing 10, 10, or 10 conidia/ml of Wilsonomyces carpophilus beginning when fruit emerged from the hypanthium and continuing at approximately weekly intervals until they reached full size and embryo development had begun. There was a linear increase in percent fruit abscission (P = 0.001) and average number lesions per fruit (P = 0.
