Periods of low rainfall can be one of the abiotic factors correlated with the
initiation of the disease (Hibben and Silverborg, 1978). However, there has not
been any unusually dry periods, that could explain the high frequency of dead
shoots, in Konya during the last 3 years. On the other hand, insufficient adaptation
to the local climate could result in e.g. delayed winter hardening of the current–
year shoots increasing susceptibility to frost damage or winter drought. The shoots
had dried after bud formation indicating that the shoots had died between late
summer and early spring. The frequency of dry shoots was similar in both sites.
Therefore differences in microclimate between the sites, caused by the dam in
Altınapa, seemed not to have had any effect on the occurrence of the damage.
