In 1998, bacterial shot hole of peach (Prunus persica) and Japanese plum(Prunus salicina) was found in Naju and Milyang. Five isolates of bacteria isolates from the diseased leaves and fruits of peach and Japanese plum were classified into genus Erwinia and Xanthomonas on diagnostic characteristics. Of five isolates, two were identified as X. campestris pv. pruni, three as E. nigrifluens. E.nigrifluens is the first description of bacteria which causes the disease on peach and Japanese plum in Korea. the symptoms caused by E. nigrifluens were hardly distinguished from those caused by X. campestris pv. pruni. In addition, it was observed that two pathogenic bacteria were isolated from most of naturally infected plants at the same time. from the reason mentioned above, we proposed to use a single common name \"bacterial shot hole of peach and Japanese plum\" for the both bacterial diseases, hereafter.

Occurrence and incidences of major diseases of peach (Prunus persicae pv. vulgaris), leaf curl caused by Taphrina deformans, bacterial shot hole caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. pruni, brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola, and anthracnose caused by Glomerella cingulata in peach orchards in Cheongdo and Kyungsan areas of Gyeongbuk province, Korea, were investigated for four years from 1990 to 1993. In leaf curl and bacterial shot hole which mainly occurred on leaves, frist disease occurrences were dated from late April to early May. The maximum leaf curl incidence was dated in mid May, while dates of the maximum bacterial shot hole incidence varied from mid May to mid August depending on the years surveyed. In brown rot and anthracnose on fruit, the first disease occurrence dates ranged from early June to early August; however, the maximum disease incidences for both were invariably dated in late August. The disease incidences on the dates of the maximum incidences differed year by year, and the averages for the 4 years were 13.2%, 10.5%, 10.9% and 3.8% for leaf curl, bacterial shot hole, brown rot and anthracnose, respectively. Especially in the leaf curl disease, the first disease occurrence dates and the maximum disease incidences matched with the amounts of precipitation of rain up to April, suggesting that the disease occurrence may be related to the precipitation during the early season. The occurrence of leaf curl was somewhat higher in cultivar“Baekmi”than other cultivars. All of the major disease occurred more in hilly orchards than in plain ones.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the prevention of bacterial shot hole by Bordeaux mixture when it was sprayed on peach trees after harvest. bordeaux mixture was sprayed on \`Mibaeko\` peach trees 1 to 3 times after mid September, and the occurrence of bacterial shot hole was examined in the next year. Bacterial shot hole in leaves appeared from mid May and thereafter increased gradually. The more times was sprayed Bordeaux mixture, the less peaches were diseased with bacterial shot hole. At the beginning of August, the peach harvest time, the disease incidence of the untreated control plot was 27.4 to 38.1%, while the disease incidence was 9.7 to 31.8% when Bordeaux mixture was sprayed. The control value ranged from 16.5 to 64.6%. Occurrence of the fruit disease was similar to that of the leaf disease. Incidence of the fruit disease in the untreated control was 17.2 to 21.6%, but incase of the chemical treatment, it was 5.0 to 12.2 %, showing 41.9 to 70.9% of the control value. Chemical injury on peach leaves were not found in the 4-12 and 408 types, but occurred in some degrees in the 6-6 type of Bordeaux mixture.
