Perceived vulnerability of citrus to canker in the major citrus growing areas of Australia

Perceived vulnerability of citrus to canker in the major citrus growing areas of Australia Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri, the cause of citrus canker, has not been detected in the major citrus growing areas of Australia. Recent isolated findings of canker A on Thursday Island (1984–85) and near Darwin (1990) have raised concerns about the vulnerability of citrus in the main citrus growing areas to the introduction of canker. Weather records indicate that, if introduced, canker could be serious at Gayndah in the Central Burnett area of Queensland and at Kulnura in coastal New South Wales. In the more arid areas of the Riverland (Loxton, Renmark), Sunraysia (Mildura), the mid-Murray area of Kerang and the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (Griffith), a less favourable environment for canker development exists. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australasian Plant Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri, the cause of citrus canker, has not been detected in the major citrus growing areas of Australia. Recent isolated findings of canker A on Thursday Island (1984–85) and near Darwin (1990) have raised concerns about the vulnerability of citrus in the main citrus growing areas to the introduction of canker. Weather records indicate that, if introduced, canker could be serious at Gayndah in the Central Burnett area of Queensland and at Kulnura in coastal New South Wales. In the more arid areas of the Riverland (Loxton, Renmark), Sunraysia (Mildura), the mid-Murray area of Kerang and the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (Griffith), a less favourable environment for canker development exists.
