In field trials on Premier rabbit eye blueberry, individual shoots were selected and tagged in the fall of 2001, 2002, and 2003 to quantify the effects of Septoria leaf spot severity and disease-induced premature defoliation on flower bud set and return yield. Experiments were carried out similar...

Septoria leaf spot reduces flower bud number and return yield in southern blue berries
Studies to evaluate the effectiveness of biological control in suppressing plant disease often report inconsistent results, highlighting the need to identify general factors that influence the success or failure of biological control in plant pathology. We conducted a quantitative synthesis of pr...

Factors affecting plant disease suppression by biocontrol: a meta analysis
In a 3-year field study, Premier rabbiteye blueberry plants were sampled at three hierarchical levels (leaf, shoot, and bush) to assess severity of Septoria leaf spot (caused by Septoria al- bopunctata) and incidence of defoliation. A positive linear relationship (R2= 0.977, P< 0.0001, n = 2127) ...
