Abstract

The objective of the research is to study the biology of the pathogen of the scab Venturia pirina Aderh depending on the agrometeorological conditions of the pear vegetation and to assess the collection cultivars for susceptibility to the disease. The biological features of the pear scab in the western foothill agro-climatic region of the Crimea are studied. The influence of climatic conditions on the occurrence of various epidemiological types of scab manifestations on pears is estimated. As a result of the research, highly resistant cultivars were found: Zhukovka, Zaporozhskaya, Triumph of Jodoin, Vodyanistaya, Dorodnaya, Bere Shibasso, Martin Sekl, which showed moderate levels of infection spread in all years of research, with the development of the disease in the range of 0.2-1.3%. Immune cultivars of pears with absolute resistance to the pathogen agent V. pirina, which was not affected by changes in weather conditions, were identified. These cultivars are the following: Zimovka, Trapezitsa, Chervona, Shara Bera, Seyanets Kolossa, Populyarnaya, Kurzemskaya Maslyanaya, Wonderful Italy, which can be used in breeding and ecologized protection systems when supplying with cuttings horticultural industries in the Crimea and the south of Russia.

Highlights

The foothill regions of the Crimea, especially its southwestern part, are ancient centers of horticulture, where soil and climatic conditions have developed favorably, contributing to the cultivation of valuable fruit crops, including pears
This situation is explained by the fact that in recent decades the pear culture has been intensively affected by pathogens of several diseases, including scab caused by the fungus Venturia pirina Aderh, anamorph of Fusicladium pirinum (Sib.) Fokl is harmful [3,4,5,6]
It is established that the conditions of the western foothill region of the Crimea, the maturation of pseudotheciums of V. pirina begins in the second half of March

Summary

Introduction

The foothill regions of the Crimea, especially its southwestern part, are ancient centers of horticulture, where soil and climatic conditions have developed favorably, contributing to the cultivation of valuable fruit crops, including pears. This situation is explained by the fact that in recent decades the pear culture has been intensively affected by pathogens of several diseases, including scab caused by the fungus Venturia pirina Aderh, anamorph of Fusicladium pirinum (Sib.) Fokl is harmful [3,4,5,6]. The pathogens of pear scab are being studied in many countries [7,8,9]
