Phytophthora and Pythium Spp. From Pine Plantations in South Australia

Abstract

A survey was carried out during the winter of 1971 to determine whether Phytophthora and Pythium spp. are present in South Australian pine plantations. Phytophthora cryptogea was frequently isolated from Kuitpo forest reserve in the Adelaide hills, but Phytophthora cinnamomi was isolated from only one tree in a pine seed orchard.
