摘要 [Objectives] The paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of Xiulijing in the management of rust in Golden Delicious apple cultivation. [Methods] The Golden Delicious apple was utilized as the test material. During the young fruit stage, various dilutions of Xiulijing were applied, specifically at concentrations of 200, 400, 600, 800, 1 000, and 2 000 times. Additionally, both the application of a 3 000-fold dilution of GA4+7 and the practice of fruit bagging were designated as the control treatments, while a water spray was utilized as the blank control. The fruit rust index and the incidence of rust-infected fruits were evaluated to assess the effectiveness of control measures for fruit rust in Golden Delicious apple cultivation. [Results] The application of Xiulijing, with dilutions ranging from 200 to 2 000 times, exhibited a significant impact on reducing both the fruit rust index and the incidence of rust-infected fruits in Golden Delicious apples. The application of a 1 000-fold dilution of Xiulijing resulted in a statistically significant reduction in both the fruit rust index and the incidence of rust-infected fruits, with reduction rates of 21.1% and 31.5%, respectively. Among the various strategies for the prevention and control of apple rust, fruit bagging emerged as the most effective method. The other two technical measures demonstrated significant control effects; however, no substantial differences were observed between them. [Conclusions] The biological control agent Xiulijing is more deserving of promotion and application in practical production due to its significantly superior economic benefits, safety, and stability.
