Pear Blight Controlled by Cutting Off Infected Twigs
Professor Mddiebrook of New Mexico Agricultural College warns the pear blight outbreak across parts of the state stems from winter pruning neglect. Prune infected twigs at least six inches below the demarcation line, coat cuts with creosote, sterilize tools after each cut, remove water shoots, and apply similar precautions to apple and plum trees. Prevention and rapid removal of diseased branches by growers are essential to keep the disease under control.
