Pine Fungus Research
Even though the onset of Dothistroma pini, a needle cast fungus of pines, had not been as devastating as was once feared, it remained a major factor in exotic forestry, the director of the Forest Research Institute (Mr H. V. Hinds) said in the institute’s annual report. He said the disease seemed likely to have a significant influence on species distribution and other aspects of forest management.
Mr Hinds said a further year’s concerted work on the disease and a review of world experience had enabled it to be viewed more clearly. “It would be dangerous to draw too many conclusions from the progress of the disease during 1967, as we are still uncertain of the effect of any abnormality in climatic conditions or other peculiar site effects. Much work is still to be done on Dothistroma,” he said.
