Damage and control of Godronia Casandra pck ≈Fusicocum putrefaciens shear- the pathogenic fungus of VacciniumUliginosum (Bog Blueberry)      Godronia Casandra pck ≈Fuzicocum putrefaciens shear, the fungus of blueberries with a large pathogenic nature, was first noticed by us in Georgia. This fungus lives in the soil, it is quarantined. We found it on seedlings imported from abroad and on 3-4 year old plants. The fungus Godronia Casandra infects the plant through the roots and root collar. The disease first appears on twigs and branches near the root collar. The fungus infects 1-2-year-old branches, young twigs, leaves, leaf and fruiting buds, ripe fruits, causing them to wither and fall off. Young shoots turn reddish and suddenly wither. The fruit and leaf buds take on a similar color and wither quickly.

            Abstract:

     Godronia Casandra pck ≈Fuzicocum putrefaciens shear, the fungus of blueberries with a large pathogenic nature, was first noticed by us in Georgia. This fungus lives in the soil, it is quarantined. We found it on seedlings imported from abroad and on 3-4 year old plants.

The fungus Godronia Casandra infects the plant through the roots and root collar. The disease first appears on twigs and branches near the root collar.

The fungus infects 1-2-year-old branches, young twigs, leaves, leaf and fruiting buds, ripe fruits, causing them to wither and fall off. Young shoots turn reddish and suddenly wither. The fruit and leaf buds take on a similar color and wither quickly.
