Preliminary Results of Fusiform Rust Resistance From Field Progeny Tests of Selected Slash Pines

Southern fusiform rust incited by the fungus Cronartium fusiforme Hedgc. & Hunt ex Cum. is of prime importance to the management of slashpine (Pinus elliottii Engeim. var. elliottii) in many areas of the Southeast. This is especially so since intensive cultural practices which enhance growth appear to predispose pines to infection by C. fusiforme.
