Summary<br />
• In addition to X. fastidiosa strains from blueberry,<br />
strains from lupine, almond, and elderberry were<br />
pathogenic to blueberry.<br />
• Resistance to blueberry leaf scorch in greenhouse<br />
screening agreed with observed field resistance for<br />
most cultivars. <strong>The</strong> development <strong>of</strong> a quick<br />
screening test for resistance to leaf scorch is<br />
possible.<br />
• Differences in virulence or host specificity were<br />
observed in X. fastidiosa strains used in greenhouse<br />
tests.<br />
• Greenhouse tests for the biological control <strong>of</strong> leaf<br />
scorch were positive. Field tests are needed.
