Health status of pome and stone fruit planting material imported to Serbia
Abstract
We summarize results of the analysis of pome and stone fruit planting material to be imported to Serbia for the presence of quarantine and economically important viruses and phytoplasmas. The analysis was conducted 2004 – 2009 whereby, in compliance with the phytosanitary law regulations of the Republic of Serbia, officially inspected samples were subjected to the examination. During the period, a total of 325 samples were analyzed, i.e. 89 rootstock samples, 215 samples of different pome and stone fruit varieties, and 21 samples of stone fruit seed. The obtained results reveal that 5 samples were infected with viruses. Apple chlorotic leafspot virus was found in one sample of apple budwood, Prune dwarf virus was detected in Prunus avium L. seedlings, Plum pox virus was confirmed in 2 plum budwood samples, and Apple mosaic virus was also found in one sample of apple budwood.Keywords: Pome fruits, stone fruits, planting material, seed, viruses, phytoplasmas
