Funded Activity Summary
Long-term survival of Phytophthora cinnamomi in black gravel soils on mining leases in the jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forest. Approximately 41% of the 5750 plant species in Western Australia are susceptible to Phytophthora cinnamomi a pathogen recognised as a key threatening process to Australia's biodiversity by the Federal Government. This project will enhance our understanding of how the pathogen survives in soil and tolerant plant species. It will determine how the pathogen is able to survive long-term as dormant propagules and how this dormancy can be broken. This project will be relevant to managers of natural ecosystems and to the horticultural industries throughout Australia and will assist in developing effective ways to manage this ecologically devastating plant pathogen.Funded Activity Details
