Spring needle cast (SNC) in Tasmania is defined by the early casting of pine needles and appears in 6‐ to 7‐year‐old pine plantations after canopy closure. The severity of SNC can vary significantly among trees growing within the same plantation. Fungal communities were surveyed in a Pinus radiata family trial, using DNA extraction from needles, PCR with fungal‐specific primers and sequencing to detect...
Cyclaneusma Needle Cast is associated with the fungal pathogen Cyclaneusma minus. The disease has led to significant losses of Pinus radiata production in New Zealand, but the disease appears less serious in Australia. Two cultural morphotypes of C. minus have been discriminated in New Zealand, and isolates from Australia also correspond to these two morphotypes. To examine if the two morphotypes...
