What is another word for pear blight?
Pronunciation: [pˈe͡ə blˈa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Pear blight is a serious disease that affects pear trees, causing them to wilt and die. There are several synonyms for pear blight, including fire blight, bacterial blight, and blossom blight. Fire blight is the most commonly used synonym for pear blight because it describes the disease's characteristic symptoms of a scorched, blackened appearance, as if the leaves and twigs had been burned. Bacterial blight refers to the bacterial infection that causes the disease, while blossom blight describes the infection occurring in the pear tree's flowers, which will eventually spread to the entire tree if left untreated. Despite the synonym variations, all refer to the same devastating disease that pear growers must work hard to control and prevent.
