Greenhouse Screening for Resistance<br />

to <strong>Leaf</strong> <strong>Scorch</strong><br />

• Resistance to blueberry leaf scorch in greenhouse<br />

screening agreed with observed field resistance for<br />

most cultivars.<br />

• Emerald was more susceptible to Xylella fastidiosa<br />

in the greenhouse than in the field.<br />

• Star appeared to be more resistant in greenhouse<br />

tests than has been observed in the field.<br />

• Differences between greenhouse and field<br />

observations could be due to host specificity <strong>of</strong><br />

strains, agressiveness <strong>of</strong> strains, or loss <strong>of</strong> virulence<br />

in some strains during culture.
