Potential Effects of Laurel Wilt on the Flora of North America
Southeastern Naturalist, 2010Abstract Laurel Wilt is caused by a recently identified fungal pathogen infecting plants in the Lauraceae. Laurel Wilt is transmitted by Xyleborus glabratus (Redbay Ambrosia Beetle), which was recently introduced to the southeastern United States from Asia. As the insect expands its range in the US, so too has the disease.

Searching for Laurel Wilt Resistance in Avocados of Mexican and Mexican-Guatemalan Ancestry
Plant DiseaseLaurel wilt (LW), a lethal vascular disease caused by the ambrosia fungus Harringtonia lauricola, has severely reduced avocado (Persea americana Mill.) production in Florida and decimated populations of native lauraceous trees across 12 U.S. states. All commercial avocado cultivars evaluated to date succumb to the disease, but the speed at which the ...

LAUREL WILT: A DANGEROUS NEW DISEASE OF AVOCADO IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
2010Laurel wilt kills American members of the Lauraceae plant family, including avocado (Persea americana). The disease is caused by a recently described fungus, Raffaelea lauricola, and is vectored by an ambrosia beetle from Asia, Xyleborus glabratus. Responses to laurel wilt were determined for 22 cultivars of avocado that are grown in Florida.

Vegetative propagation of putatively laurel wilt-resistant redbay (Persea borbonia)
Native Plants Journal, 2014Vegetative propagation experiments were conducted on redbay ( Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng. [Lauraceae]) to evaluate disease resistance and to conserve germplasm. We developed a primary framework for redbay vegetative propagation to address limita tions of long-term seed storage and the need to preserve and screen putatively laurel wilt-resistant ...

Flutriafol as a Promising Fungicide for the Management of Laurel Wilt in Avocado Production
Plant Health ProgressLaurel wilt is a lethal disease caused by Harringtonia lauricola, a nutritional symbiont of several ambrosia beetles. Disease management in avocado orchards relies on cultural practices, as the effectiveness of the only approved fungicide, propiconazole, is limited. To identify additional fungicides, 10 active ingredients from four

Impacts of laurel wilt disease on arthropod herbivores of North American Lauraceae
Biological Invasions, 2018For approximately 15 years, Raffaelea lauricola and its vector, Xyleborus glabratus (redbay ambrosia beetle), have been causing extensive mortality of North American plants in the Lauraceae. All species of Lauraceae native to the USA that have been tested thus far are susceptible to the pathogen.

Optimum spectral and geometric parameters for early detection of laurel wilt disease in avocado
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2015Abstract Avocado ( Persea americana ) is a crop that is second in importance in Florida behind citrus with a wholesale value of $35 million and represents approximately 60% of the tropical fruit crop acreage. Laurel wilt (LW) is a lethal disease that has spread rapidly along the southeastern seaboard of the United States affecting commercial avocado ...
