Do nitrogen fertilizers help control fire blight in apple and pear trees?
No, the use of nitrogen fertilizers tends not to be helpful in controlling fire blight in apple [Malus domesticus] and pear [Pyrus spp] trees. Nitrogen encourages lush growth of above ground plant body parts. The blight is more difficult to control when growth is lush and tissues are succulent.
Who was blight from Catching Fire?

How can fire blight affect in people?
Fire blight is the enemy of rosebushes and apple and pear trees. It is caused by a bacteria (erwinia amylovora) which attacks starting generally from the blossoms or flowers and moving up to the twigs and then the branches. Fire blight gets its name from the burnt appearance of affected blossoms and twigs. Flowers turn brown and wilt; twigs shrivel and blacken, the ends often curling. In more advanced cases of bacterial infestation, cankers, discoloured oozing patches, form on branches. The translucent amber or reddish ooze contains masses of bacteria. Heavy persistent infections can be fatal.Most common rose varieties are vulnerable to fire blight infection. Many varieties of pear and apple trees are also susceptible although some varieties are more at risk than others. Other susceptible trees include mountain ash, hawthorn and cotoneaster. Check with your local nursery or garden centre for information on specific species before you purchase if fire blight is a concern.Fire blight bacteria is easily spread by many means: rain splashes carrying bacteria from one plant to another; birds, insects or animals; an infected plant rubbing against its neighbor. Even gardeners can unwittingly transmit the bacteria on infected gardening tools or when watering. The time of maximum risk of infection is late spring or early summer when the bacteria emerge from their dormant period and the oozing from cankers is most pronounced.There is, as yet, no cure for fire blight and the best way to deal with the infection is to remove infected stems and branches cutting no less than 8 inches up from the infected area. Because the bacteria are so easily transmitted, care should be taken in disposing of infected plant material. Either burn or discard in the trash. Do not leave infected material where the bacteria might be spread to surrounding bushes or trees. Care should also be taken with tools which have come into contact with the bacteria. Tools can be sterilized in an alcohol solution (three parts denatured alcohol to one part water). Diluted household bleach can also be used (one part bleach to nine parts water) as long as the tools are wiped dry after disinfecting to prevent corrosion.A variety of bactericides have been developed to combat fire blight, many of the most common containing streptomycin sulphate. Check with your local garden or landscape centre for details and remember to follow the instructions carefully.
What are the parasites of trees?
Bacteria, fungi, insects, nematodes, plants, and viruses are parasites of trees. Canker and fire blight; anthracnose and root rot; and mosaic, necrosis, and ringspot are respective examples of bacterial, fungal and viral parasites. Examples of plant parasites include broomrape, dodder, mistletoe, and yellow rattle.

Is it possible to waste fire?
Fire is renewable because fire isn't like trees. When you cut down trees they are gone. Fire is renewable but trees are nonrenewable. While it is not possible to waste fire in general, it is possible to waste the materials used to make the fire. So if you are not using the fire, you are wasting energy.
