Armillaria root rot spreading into a natural woody ecosystem in South Africa

2018-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Signs and symptoms of a disease similar to those of armillaria root rot have recently been observed on various native woody plants on the foothills of Table Mountain in South Africa, one of the most botanically diverse natural environments globally. This is of concern because the root rot fungus Armillaria mellea has previously been shown to be an alien pathogen of European origin in planted gardens in the City of...
