Introduction


Solemn presence in our national culture and history, the walnut (Juglans regia L.) is holding
a specific place in the Romanian landscape and national fruit growing, being appreciated for
its fruits, whom kernel is consumed both fresh and processed, also for his high quality wood,
and for the ecological and aesthetical attributes of the tree.
Although the walnut is vulnerable on more than 30 species of pathogens and pests, in the
countries with tradition in walnut culture and in our country as well, the most damaging
diseases are the anthracnose (Gnomonia leptostila D.C. Trav) and
walnuts blight (Xanthomonas campestris p.v. juglandis (Pierce) Dye).

Objectives, material and method (1)

The studies were carried out during 1996-2009 at RIFG Pitesti-Maracineni
Romania, and has had as objectives:




The experimental device was located on a soil unit from the superior terrace of
Arges River and on an alluvial soil unit from the right shore of the Budeasa creek,
an affluent of Doamnei River.
The climatic conditions are very favorable for fruit growing




The evaluation of some Romanian and foreign walnut cultivars on anthracnose
(Gnomonia leptostila D.C. Trav) and walnut blight (Xanthomonas campestris p.v.
juglandis (Pierce) Dye),
Assessment of their photosynthetic efficiency and elaboration of an flexible
integrated phytoprotection program for the bearing walnuts, program which can be
updated and developed.
The annual average temperature: 9.8-10.2 0C;
the absolute maximum temperature (in July): 37.6 0C;
the absolute minimum temperature (in January): -240C;
the average precipitation amount: 665 mm /an).
First autumn frost occurs at the end of October, and the latest spring frost in the second
decade of the April and accidentally later on.
The biological material consisted in 16 autochthonous walnut cultivars and 2
generative rootstocks and 6 foreign cultivar and selections, between 12 and 20
years old.
Planting distances were 10 m between trees rows and 7 to 12 m among the trees.
The maintenance works were the usual ones for the bearing walnut orchards, but
without irrigation and fertilization.

Fig. 5 The climatic conditions at RIFG Pitesti-Maracineni Romania (1969-2009)
• Under the reference conditions the walnut cultivars behavior to anthracnose and walnut blight was
influenced by the climatic conditions and the particularities of the pathogens cycle.
• In cold and wet springs, the blight attack are more severe. The climatic accidents as storms and
hails can aggravate the frequency and the intensity of the anthracnose and walnut blight attack.
• It was observed that attack intensity I offered some information related to the plant resistance from
the infections to the visible symptoms of the diseases, but at the same time, the attack frequency
F (%), offered some information regarding the plant susceptibility to be infected and the crown and
orchard distribution of the diseases, the facts being noticed previous by Martins J.M.S., et all in
1995).

• A positive correlation was found between the anthracnose frequency F% on leaves and
minimal chlorophyll fluorescence level (Ft) [r=0.4260; n=24].
• Other positive correlations were found between the walnut blight frequency F% on fruits
and the instant fluorescence level (Fm) [r=0.3098; n=24] and minimal chlorophyll
fluorescence level (Ft) [r=0.3285].
• The accumulated data reveal the possibility to select new walnut genotypes, highly tolerant
to diseases, using their field behavior to anthracnose and walnut blight, their effective
chlorophyll fluorescence level (Fv/Fm), and their leaves total chlorophyll content.

Conclusions







Anthracnose and walnut blight are severe diseases, which untreated can led to crop looses of
50% up to 75-80%.
Under the study conditions some of the Romanian walnut cultivars as: 'Mihaela', 'Victoria',
'Jupâneşti', 'Roxana', 'Geaoagiu 65', 'Geoagiu 86', 'Sarmis', 'Muscelean', were appreciated as
very tolerant to anthracnose, 'Franquette' (FRA), but some other cultivars as: 'Mayette' (FRA),
'Vina' (USA), 'Tehama' (USA), 'Geoagiu 252', 'Sibişel 44', 'Orăştie', 'Bratia', proved to be
tolerante.
Some other cultivars as: 'Peştişani', 'Geaoagiu 65', 'Geoagiu 86', 'Sarmis', 'Jupâneşti', 'Sibişel
precoce', were appreciated as very tolerant to walnut blight, and cultivars as: 'Hartley' (SUA)
'Mayette' (FRA), 'Franquette' (FRA), were noticed as being tolerant.
The accumulated data reveal the possibility to select new walnut genotypes, highly tolerant to
diseases, using their field behavior to anthracnose and walnut blight, their effective
chlorophyll fluorescence level (Fv/Fm), and their leaves total chlorophyll content.
In Romania, to maintain the healthy the walnuts bearing orchards, the pest and diseases
must be kept under the economic damage threshold, by a complex of measures including:
planting of healthy stock material, application of a differentiated and well balanced
technology and of an integrated phytoprotection of minimum 7 treatments).
This program can be updated every year and developed according the assortment, climatic
conditions, the diseases and pests dynamic in the walnuts orchards, the accepted plant
protection products and their cost, etc.
However the culture of highly tolerant cultivars can reduce the treatments number, the costs
and the impact of the phytoprotection programs on the environment, biodiversity and human
habitat.
