Abstract

In this study was investigated the Phytophthora spp., effects on plum trees in Skopelos island, Greece. Trees impacted by Phytophthora showed collar rot symptoms (below ground), crown rot and reddishbrown discoloration of the bark and poor growth with sparse, off-color foliage (above ground). Results showed that improve soil drainage techniques and application of fosetyl-Al when new leaves are hardening proved a good strategy to encourage

I. Healthy new root growth,

II. Reduced Phytophthora root and grown rot symptoms and

III. Increase plum fruits production.
