Abstract: After misting for 24 hours, hardened and dehardened 1-year-old plants of Pinus radiata D. Don were inoculated with Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae van Hall and exposed to frosts 2C warmer than the lethal frost temperatures. Plants which were both inoculated and frosted developed significantly more stem cankers than those either inoculated only or frosted only.
