First Report of Ophiostoma clavatum and Fusarium verticillioides Associated With Ips acuminatus‐Infested Scots Pine in Western Ukraine [PDF]
Over the past two decades, dieback of Pinus sylvestris L. stands has increased across Europe, largely due to mass outbreaks of the bark beetle, in particular, Ips acuminatus Gyll. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
