B. Astrom et M. Ramstedt, STEM CANKERS ON SWEDISH BIOMASS WILLOWS CAUSED BY CRYPTODIAPORTHE-SALICELLA AND OTHER FUNGI, European journal of forest pathology, 24(5), 1994, pp. 264-276
Field surveys and inoculation experiments were carried out in order to
determine the most important stem-canker fungi on willows planted for
energy production. The pathogenicity of different fungal isolates and
factors influencing infection were studied in the field and in greenh
ouse experiments, where canker extension was measured after inoculatio
n either on dormant plants or on plants undergoing active growth.
