Xanthomonas arboricola is a species of proteobacteria. This phytopathogenic bacterium can cause disease in trees like Prunus, hazelnut and walnut.[1]
Disease Cycle
Xanthomonas arboricola can infect all green tissue of the plant[2]. The disease cycle of Xanthomonas arboricola begins on the leaves of the infected plant where the bacteria will live in an epiphytic stage (gathering all nutrients and water from the air) until mid to late spring when sufficient rainsplash spreads the bacteria to new buds and fruits where it becomes pathogenic. With enough early spring rain, a repeating cycle can form in which infected leaves and young buds pass the disease to early season fruit and nutlets. With less rain, a late season infection of fruit and nuts will occur. After the infection of fruit and nuts in autumn, Xanthomonas arboricola will spread to dormant buds and wounds in leaves or branches and overwinter. Come early spring the Xanthomonas will once again enter an epiphytic stage on leaves emerging from previously infected dormant buds and repeat the cycle annually[2][3].
Environment Impact on Disease Cycle
Incidence of infection can be correlated with rainfall events during the budding season of the walnut. The most important rains occurring during bud break events. This is due to the rainsplash moving inoculum from infected buds across other green tissues of the tree, most crucially to developing nuts [4].
Management
Current management of bacterial walnut blight caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis is through copper-based bactericide sprays. Spraying is started just prior to early shoot emergence and continued at 7- to 10-day or longer intervals as necessary for disease control according to spring rainfall[5]. This spraying regime is to continue until the end of August. Unfortunately, continuous use of copper-based bactericides lead to a buildup of copper in soil and can be related to yield loss in walnut orchards[6]. A natural antibiotic produced by a strain of Streptomyces by the name of kasumin or kasugamycin has been found to have high efficacy against Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis as a copper spray alternative under dry conditions. However, this same efficacy has not been found to hold up under moderate to heavy rainfall unless paired with a copper-based spray treatment[7].
