Reevaluation of the Application Method and Efficacy of Propiconazole in Controlling Laurel Wilt in Avocado Orchards in South Florida

HortTechnology, 2023
Propiconazole has fungistatic and fungicidal properties against Harringtonia lauricola, the causal agent of laurel wilt disease. Propiconazole injections are used by Florida, USA, farmers as a prophylactic method to manage the disease in avocado (Persea ...

Establishment of Basic Compatibility Through Pathogen Sulfur Scavenging Is Essential for Laurel Wilt Disease Development

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Invasive, lethal tree diseases continue to have devastating effects on forest ecology, commercial timber production, the horticultural trade, and agriculture production. Laurel wilt, caused by the recently introduced fungus Harringtonia lauricola, is one

Temporal associations between ambrosia beetles and ʻōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) artificially inoculated with Ceratocystis lukuohia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 49-60, February 2026.
Abstract Wood boring ambrosia beetles play a central role in the spread of Ceratocystis wilt of ‘ōhi‘a, a fungal disease caused by Ceratocystis lukuohia that kills the bioculturally important ‘ōhiʻa (Metrosideros polymorpha) tree. Beetles contribute to the spread of the disease by extruding fungus‐infected wood particles (frass). Disease mitigation can

Investigating bark, ambrosia and nitidulid beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytinae and Nitidulidae) communities and their potential role in the movement of Ceratocystis manginecans in commercial forestry plantations in Riau, Indonesia

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 707-722, November 2025.
Beetles and beetle frass can harbour Ceratocystis propagules. The viability of the propagules and the ability of the beetles and/or beetle frass to spread C. manginecans requires further investigation. An interaction exists between infected trees and wood‐dwelling beetles, and this interaction differs between Acacia and Eucalyptus.

Laurel Wilt Susceptibility and Physiological Responses of Two Commercial Avocado Cultivars on Experimental Unreleased Phytophthora Root Rot–resistant Rootstocks

HortScience
The University of California Riverside (UCR) avocado rootstock breeding program has recently developed five advanced clonal rootstocks (PP35, PP40, PP42, PP45, and PP80), selected for their resistance to Phytophthora root rot (PRR), the most widespread ...
