The invention discloses a simple method for rapidly detecting
physalospora piricola infection amount in apple branches, and relates to a
rapid detection technology for
pathogen infection amount in plants. The method is suitable to detect
pathogen quantity of living apple branches whose
diameter at the base is smaller than 3 cm. The specific method comprises:
girdling a cortex on the base of a to-be-detected
branch, width being 2-10 mm; using a
paraquat liquor whose
active ingredient content is 60 g / L - 100 g / L to soak absorbent paper,
degreasing cotton, and cotton threads or cloth strips, after taking the absorbent paper, the
degreasing cotton, and the cotton threads or cloth strips out and draining, winding the absorbent paper, the
degreasing cotton, and the cotton threads or cloth strips on a
girdling opening position, using an
adhesive tape or a
plastic film to wrap tightly; from the third day after
processing, inspecting and recording the number of lenticels which are diseased and not diseased on the branches, and whether a
necrosis cortex generates pycnidium or not. The method is advantaged in that the method detects clearly whether apple branches have potential
physalospora piricola in 1-2 weeks, and the quantity of potential
pathogen, and the method is simple in operation method and reliable in detection result, and solves a problem that a conventional survey cannot detect
physalospora piricola infection amount in branches.
