Methods for eradicating Hymenoscyphus fraxineus and improving dormancy breakage in ash seed

The main objective of this task was to test various treatments to eradicate Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (Hf) from infected ash fruits. Two different approaches were used: P8 (FORESTRY RES) To test the efficiency of a hot-water treatment on ash fruits. P12 (NIBIO) To test different concentrations of thyme oil and the fungicide Signum (boskalid and pyraclostrobin) on infected seeds. As P12 did not detect any infection on seeds, this part was not performed.
