Relative susceptibility of peach rootstocks to crown gall and Phytophthora root and crown rot in Chile

Crown gall (Agrobacterium tumefaciens) and Phytophthora root and crown rot (PRCR), caused by P. cryptogea, are two major limiting factors affecting peach (Prunus pérsica) production in Chile. At present, Nemaguard is the most important rootstock used in peach orchards, and although several clonal ro...

Relative susceptibility of peach rootstocks to crown gall and Phytophthora root and crown rot in Chile
