Apple Losses Due to Fireblight

A fireblight epidemic in 2000 killed 220,000 youngtrees outright and severely damaged 80,000 prime bearingage trees. These 300,000 trees, on 1,100 acres, werereported as killed by fireblight on the 2000 Rotational FruitSurvey. Growers in the Southwest Fruit District (Allegan,Berrien, Cass, Kalamazoo, and Van Buren Counties) lost950 of the 1,100 acres. Trees planted before 1991 wereremoved mainly due to the death of the bearing surface

and the uncertainty about when the trees would bear fruitagain. There were 500 acres and 80,000 trees in thatcategory. There were 600 acres and 220,000 young trees,planted in 1991 and later, that died immediately. Thoseacres and trees are shown by year planted, variety, androotstock in the following three tables. The fireblightdamage reported here was as of January 2001, when datacollection ended for the survey.

MICHIGAN FRUIT INVENTORY 2000-2001 SURVEY METHODS 43

Survey MethodsThe list sampling frame maintained by the Michigan

Agricultural Statistics Service was the primary source ofnames of commercial fruit farms. Commercial meant anyoperation with at least one acre of any tree fruit or one-third of an acre of any berry. Data were collected for everyqualifying fruit operation.

Questionnaires and cover letters were mailed to fruitfarms on the list frame in October 2000. Growers whoresponded to the 1997 Fruit Survey were also sent aprintout of their responses to that inventory. Datacollection continued until the spring of 2001.

The apple section of the survey instrument is shown atthe end of this section. Farmers were asked to complete, byblock (vineyard or plantation), the block name or number,the county, township and section where that block waslocated, variety, rootstock or trellis, year of planting, trees,acres and spacing for each variety in the block. Each linewithin a block represents a different variety, rootstock,year planted or plant spacing.

These detailed data were obtained for 86 percent of thefarms. Twenty-nine percent were returned by mail, 47percent were completed by telephone, and 10 percent weredone by personal interview. Eleven percent refused to dothe inventory, and three percent could not be contacted.Estimates of total acres of each fruit were made fromvarious sources for the farms for which detailed blockrecords were not available.

The completion rates of the detailed data varied byregion and by fruit type. They were calculated by dividingthe total acres with complete block data by those acressummed with estimated acres for refusals andinaccessibles. These rates are shown as percentages in theaccompanying table. Inverses of those completion rateswere used to expand detailed data to total acreage totals byfruit and district. The higher the completion rate for adistrict and fruit, the more accurate are the detailed datashown in the two-way and three-way tables of this bulletin.

44 SURVEY METHODS MICHIGAN FRUIT INVENTORY 2000-2001

��

Michigan is one of the nation’s major fruitproducing states, largely because of Lake Michigan’smoderating influence on the weather of western areasof the state. Cold air passing over the unfrozen lake inthe winter is warmed, while hot air passing over in thesummer is cooled. This “lake effect” also helps delayfruit tree bloom in the spring, which lessens thepossibility of freeze damage. In addition, the dry arcticwinter air picks up substantial amounts of moisture asit moves over the unfrozen lake, which is deposited as“lake effect” snow, providing moisture for the fruittrees as well as insulating their root systems.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please report only for acreage of fruit you operate: Include land rented from others. Exclude land rented to others.

If you participated in the 1997 Fruit Survey, you will find enclosed a printout of the blocks you reported in 1997. Space has been left on these printouts for you to update the information.Check all "other" varieties on the block record and update them. Your updated copy of the 1997 printout should be returned with this questionnaire in which you should report on newblocks acquired or planted since 1997. If it is easier, you may use the printout as a reference only and list all of your blocks in this questionnaire. All of your fruit blocks must be accountedfor between the updated printout and the questionnaire.

If you did not receive a printout from the 1997 survey, complete a line in the questionnaire for each block in your operation. Use the name or number that you use to identify each block.Each block should have its own distinctive name or number. List the county, township and section where the block is located. Include all bearing and non-bearing blocks. Excludeabandoned blocks.

Enter the appropriate variety and rootstock codes on the lines and complete the remaining cells for each variety in the block. Round acreage to the nearest tenth of an acre. To separateblocks, draw a line across the hash marks. See examples below. If you need space for additional blocks, continue on the extra pages provided in the questionnaire.

It is important that we receive a response from all growers. If you are not able to complete and return the questionnaire by mail, a representative of our office will contact and assistyou. If there are any questions or if you need assistance in completing this inquiry, call our office at (800) 453-7501.
