Artificial Introduction of Virulent and Hypovirulent Strains of Endothia parasitica Using Large Scratch Wounds

The goal of this study is to follow the course of future infections on both the scratched trees and various check trees. To do this, isolations will be made from new infections that arise on trees within the various treatment plots. By introducing massive amounts of hypovirulent inoculum, it is hoped that evidence for the establishment of hypovirulent strains can be acquired.
