Bacterial dysentery again threatens farms in the country

The recent summer weather has been favourable for bacterial blight. After a gap of a few years, we could already count the outbreaks on two fingers of our hands.

We are reluctant to make predictions, but it looks like we could see the same good weather for the spread of the bacterium this year, according to the State Office for Plant Production (SPS).

If the blossoms of pears, dogwoods, hawthorns, hawthorns, quince, quinces, apple trees, beeches, loquats, locusts, photinia, dogwoods and other plants are developing (not necessarily the whole inflorescence) and turning black, but not falling off, and staying on the tree, it is worth worrying about.

Necrotic spots appear on the leaves or stems of the plants and gradually spread.

The main leaf vein turns black, followed by blackening of the entire leaf. It curls and dies, but does not fall off.

Dark brown or dark green watery spots appear on the bark of young twigs and shoots, the tips of which curl into a hook.

Fruits, usually immature, show watery green and later reddish-brown spots. The fruits turn brown to black and mummify, but do not fall to the ground. We can then definitely suspect that the plant is infected with bacterial blight.
