Stone fruit production represents an important part of fruit growing in Serbia and provides significant profit to fruit growers. How ever, the profit can be compromised by various plant diseases. Those caused by bacteria or phytoplasma can be very difficult to control due to the pathogen nature and lack of efficient treatments. Control of Pseudomonas syringae pvs. syringae and morsprunorum is a serious problem for fruit growers in our country. 'Crown gall' pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens often infects rootstocks and young plants causing great loss in nurseries. Diseases not present in our country, such as bacterial canker of peach, caused by P. s. pv. persicae and bacterial leaf spot of stone fruits caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, are also listed here, since they are described in close proximity and there is a great risk for their introduction. In Serbia, presence of European Stone Fruit Yellows phytoplasma disease on plum and apricot has been confirmed. How ever, it causes less damage than other pathogens. Aim of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of symptomatology and epidemiology of stone fruit bacterial and phytoplasma diseases. This should facilitate proper and timely diagnosis and there fore successful protection measures.
