Unique clones of the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum, associated with a new disease outbreak in South Africa

2017-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Pitch canker of pines is caused by the fungus Fusarium circinatum. In South Africa, this pathogen has mostly been a nursery problem. From 2005, however, outbreaks of pitch canker have been reported from established Pinus radiata and P. greggii in the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces. Most recently, pitch canker-like symptoms were observed on 10-year-old P. greggii trees in a plantation in the midlands of the Kwa...
