Scientifically advanced solutions for chestnut ink disease [PDF]
On the north regions of Portugal and Spain, the Castanea sativa Mill. culture is extremely important. The biggest productivity and yield break occurs due to the ink disease, the causal agent being the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi. This oomycete is also responsible for the decline of many other plant species in Europe and worldwide. P.

SENSITIVITY TO COPPER AND PHOSPHITE OF PHYTOPHTHORA SPECIES ASSOCIATED WITH INK DISEASES OF CHESTNUT [PDF]
Phytophthora cinnamomi (23 isolates) and P. cambivora (3 isolates), isolated from chestnut showing ink disease symptoms or from soil near dead roots of chestnut trees were tested to copper and phosphite sensitivity. Isolates were characterized using an amended agar assay.
