Fusiform Rust Losses, Control Costs, And Relative Hazard In Southern Forest Tree Nurseries

Fusiform rust (caused by Cronartium quercuum (Berk.) Miyabe ex Shirai f. sp. fusiforme) is the most serious nursery disease of slash (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and loblolly (P. taeda L.) pine in the Southern United States. Although the disease can be controlled by spraying ferbam, the number, frequency, and formulation of sprays, as well as the degree of rust control, vary from one nursery to another. This paper reports fusiform rust losses and the relative cost of control in southern forest nurseries.
