Funded Activity Summary
The biology, genetics, pathology and control of Alternaria species in Paulownia plantations. The development of Paulownia plantations is a rapidly expanding industry in Australia. Recently, three Alternaria species have been associated with foliar and canker disease leading to tree deaths. Alternaria disease has the potential to cause economic losses to the industry in Western Australia. Therefore, this study will examine the pathology and genetic diversity of Alternaria species, establish pathogenicity screening of different genetic material and look at a range of integrated chemical and silvicultural approaches to reduce disease impact and severity.Funded Activity Details
