Fruit Tree Phytoplasma

Obst tree phytoplasma are transmitted during grafting and spread by psyllids. In Switzerland, these pathogens are regulated as regulated non-quarantine pests and are therefore subject to the plant passport system. To reduce the risk of infection, it is necessary to plant healthy trees and to eliminate infected trees near and inside orchards.
