Detection
Phyllody and flower malformation appear usually in April/May and are easy to recognize in the field. Over the season, farmers can observe shoot proliferation or light green leaf development, but they normally do not associate such symptoms with a disease that cannot be controlled by using pesticides, and frequently treat the phytoplasma-infected trees with ineffective pesticides.
