An estimate of the potential economic impact of pine pitch canker in Australia

Australian Forestry, 2008
Summary This paper estimates the economic benefits Australian pine plantations can expect to enjoy if the pine pitch canker fungus can be prevented from entering the country at any time over the next 30 years. It presents a stochastic bioeconomic model that estimates the additional costs imposed by producer behavioural changes as the pathogen enters ...

First outbreak of pitch canker in a South African pine plantation

Australasian Plant Pathology, 2007
Fusarium circinatum, the causal agent of pitch canker, was first reported in South Africa in 1990 on Pinus patula seedlings in a nursery. Subsequent to this outbreak the pathogen has spread throughout South African pine nurseries causing a serious root and collar rot disease of various Pinus spp.

Pitch Canker of Slash Pine in Florida

Journal of Forestry, 1977
Abstract Pitch canker is reducing growth and deforming stems of large numbers of planted slash pines (Pinus elliottii Englem. var. elliottii) in Florida. In fall, needles on cankered shoots turn yellow to reddish. New shoots often wilt and die the following spring because the pitch-soaked cankers have girdled the branches.

The Epidemiology of Pitch Canker of Monterey Pine in California

Forest Science, 2002
Abstract The progression of pitch canker disease, caused by Fusarium circinatum, was followed over 4 yr (1992–1996) in urban stands of Monterey pine, Pinus radiata, with initially zero, light, moderate, and severe disease intensity. The disease progressed from a few to many branch tip symptoms, followed by the appearance of cankers on ...

Effects of Fertilization on Healthy and Pitch Canker-Infected Pines

Southern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1981
Abstract The addition of large amounts of nitrogen plus phosphorus fertilizer to a slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. elliottii Engelm.) stand infected with pitch canker increased mortality and decreased tree growth. The addition of nitrogen or phosphorus alone, small amounts of nitrogen plus phosphorus, or nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,

Pine Pitch Canker and Insects: Regional Risks, Environmental Regulation, and Practical Management Options [PDF]

Forests, 2019
Pine pitch canker (PPC), caused by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg and O’ Donnell), is a serious threat to pine forests globally. The recent introduction of the pathogen to Southern Europe and its spread in Mediterranean region is alarming considering the immense ecological and economic importance of pines in the region.

Pitch Canker Damage to South Florida Slash Pine

Journal of Forestry, 1963
Abstract Observations of incidence, rate of spread, and effect on tree growth and mortality of pitch canker disease caused by Fusarium lateritium f. pini were made in pulpwood-size stands of South Florida slash pine (Pinus elliottii var. densa). Incidence increased rapidly over a 5-year period, but was not correlated with either tree

Treatment of Pitch Canker on Monterey Pine with Fungisol Injection

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1988
Fungisol injections into mature Monterey pines with pitch canker, caused by Fusarium subglutinans, failed to eradicate pre-existing branch infections and did not prevent disease when trees were artificially inoculated or infected naturally.
