Emerging Hazelnut Cultivation and the Severe Threat of Bacterial Blight in Chile

Severe attacks of bacterial blight were observed on young plants throughout the hazelnut growing areas in Chile. The incidence of the disease in nurseries and fields ranged from 60–90%. The causal agent was identified as Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina, based on phenotypic and genetic tests.
