Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine fire blight disease, caused by Erwinia amylovora, reactions. Five different loquat cultivars ('Akko XIII', 'Gold Nugget', 'Sayda', 'Hafif Cukurgobek' and 'Champagne de Grasse') and 14 Erwinia amylovora strains, isolated from different cities of Turkey, were used in the study. Shoot and leaves infections were evaluated in 2011 and 2012 on these loquat cultivars.
