Global InformationPecan bacterial leaf scorch information
Pecan bacterial leaf scorch is a disease of the pecan tree that is common throughout the production regions of the United States caused by the pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex.[1] The pathogen was initially discovered to be coincidentally associated with symptoms of pecan fungal leaf scorch in 1998[2] and has subsequently been found to be endemic in the southeastern United States, as well as Arizona, California, and New Mexico.[3]
