Xylella Fastidiosa Treatment Solutions & Preventive Measures

Xylella Fastidiosa causes  a common bacterial disease that is transferred through xylem feeding leafhoppers. After the infestation begins, the tree becomes prone to numerous other diseases. Leaf scorch, phony peach disease, plum leaf scald, citrus variegated disease, fire blight, bot cankers, pierce’s disease, are common diseases acquired after Xylella attacks a tree.
These emerging vascular bacterial diseases are becoming a common problem in the USA. So, it is important to get a professional tree health assessment to get rid of bacteria and shield the healthy growth of infected plants.

Xylella is a Gram-negative, xylem-limited, and insect vectored disease. This bacteria affects many tree species in the USA, specifically trees with broad leaves. Well, there are roughly 600 species of plants that can host Xylella Fastidiosa. However, it has four known subspecies that can affect a very wide range of plants and trees. Knowledge of Xylella fastidiosa treatment is important to mitigate the consequences of its outbreak.

Its invasion comprises mainly the water-conducting systems, moving both up and down the plant. This results in blocking the supply of nutrients and supplements through the plants.

The mitigation of this vector-borne bacterial pathogen requires prevention.  As symptoms of every plant vary, identifying these outbreaks can be challenging. Mild manifestations of Xylella frequently evade detection by untrained observers. Therefore, only proficient monitoring, identification and consultancy from an arborist is essential for the proficient monitoring and treatment of Xylella disease. Additionally, signs of infection tend to become more pronounced during the summer and autumn seasons or extended periods of dry weather.

With symptoms varying from species to species, a proper diagnosis is required to start a treatment. Accurate detection and treatment will help get rid of the pathogen, Xylella fastidiosa. Any delay might increase problems from newly emerging bacterial diseases of plants. To limit disease transmission and control the insect vector, our experts offer A 2-formulation tree injection treatment, intensive organic insecticides, proper tree nutrition, and other required medications. Customized solutions are also provided to keep trees healthy for a long time.
