Host range of Puccinia psidii, a potential biological control agent of Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida

2001-09-01

Abstract excerpt

The rust fungus Puccinia psidii infects the foliage and causes dieback of actively growing tips on several myrtaceous plants in South and Central America. It has recently been discovered in south Florida causing a similar disease on Melaleuca quinquenervia. We therefore evaluated P. psidii as a potential biological control agent of this invasive tree. Typical disease symptoms on M. quinquenervia included distortio...
