Slaked Lime Against European Fruit Tree Canker: Efficacy and Introduction into Practice
B. Heijne1, P. F. de Jong1,
M. Wenneker1 and P. J. Jansonius2
Abstract
Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) was applied at 50 or 100 kg/ha three times
during leaf fall to protect apple trees against European fruit tree canker,
caused by Nectria galligena.
Experiments in 3 years and demonstration trials in 2 years reduced significantly
the number of newly formed cankers. The experiments showed an efficacy
of 37 to 70 % with respect to the untreated control.
