Résumé
The bacteria that causes fire blight in apple and pear trees is
notoriously difficult to control without antibiotics. With new
regulations in the US preventing antibiotic use in organic orchards
after 2014, organic farmers faced an impossible choice – lose
their organic certification or risk the death of their trees. Working
against the clock, plant pathologist Dr Kenneth Johnson from
Oregon State University accelerated his efforts to provide organic
farmers with another option. With his team of researchers and
outreach specialists, he developed and evaluated non-antibiotic
management strategies for fire blight in organic apple and pear
orchards.
