Piles of Apple Prunings as Sources of Conidia of Physalospora obtusa. P. M. Miller, Department of Plant Pathology and Genetics, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven 06504; S. L.

Twigs in piles of apple prunings are an abundant source of conidia of Physalospora obtusa. Twigs 10-mm or less in diam each produce about the same number of conidia. No conidia could be obtained from piles of chipped apple prunings. A Cytospora sp. was often found as a secondary invader of the dead apple twigs.
