New Method Aims to Halt Barkett Pear Canker Spread
Horticulture expert Mr Day discusses an experimental approach to arresting canker on Barkett pear trees by shaving outer bark to expose diseased inner bark. He notes disinfection with cyanide of mercury and bichloride of mercury in glycerine showing high cure rates, while water-based solutions were less effective. The work, begun in 1921, includes trials by Hayward Reed and others, with early reports promising but variable results and a planned second installment.
