Scleroderris canker on lodgepole pine introduced in northern Sweden

Abstract: From 1987–1991, conditions in 110 conventional plantings of introduced lodgepole pine (Pinuscontorta Dougl. ex Loud.) were investigated in northern Sweden. Severe damage by Scleroderris canker, caused by the fungus Gremmeniellaabietina (Lagerb.) Morelet, was recorded at high elevations in 1987. Damage was related to a period with extreme weather conditions. The disease was initially severe in low lying areas, from where it quickly spread throughout the plantations during 1988. Temperatures above average during… Show more

“…In the meantime on lodgepole pine, inoculation trials with the EU race hâve been undertaken to verify if such résistance could exist on this species, which is genetically related to jack pine. Lodgepole pines are seriously affected by Scleroderris canker in Sweden (Karlman et al 1994). However, another amplitype of the pathogen, as defined by Hamelin et al (1996), is most likely involved and thus care should be taken not to introduce this amplitype into Canada where jack and lodgepole pines could be affected.…”

“…In the case of fire, higher temperatures correspond to higher stand susceptibility (Rothermel and Philpot, 1973). On the other hand there are several pathogen and pest species that show a preference for lower temperatures and therefore prefer sites of higher altitude and latitude, such as Scleroderris canker on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) in Sweden (Karlman et al, 1994), or the larch budmoth, Zeiraphera diniana in the Alps (Baltensweiler and Fischlin, 1988) and Sudeten (Capecki et al, 1989).…”

“…This is sigdicant since lodgepole pine, a widespread forest species in western Canada, was extremely susceptible to the EU race when grown as an exotic plantation species in Scandinavia (Karlman et al 1994). It underlines the importance of preventing the introduction of the EU race into western Canada, as suggested by Dorworth and Muir (1993).…”

“…Recently, some concern has been shown regarding the ability of the EU race to extend its range into western Canada on lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl.) (Donvorth and Muir 1993) as it has been shown to have a significant impact on this species in Sweden (Karlman et al 1994).…”
