(2001) as a possible means of control for stem rust. The aeciospores are directly penetrated and parasitized by the conidial fungus. Tests on two-year-old pine seedlings in the greenhouse showed that treatment with the parasite prevented new rust infections by an average of 42%.Alternative Method: RemovalActive Ingredient:Alternative Trial: NoAlternative Type: Specific strategy - BiocontrolPest Type: Fungus
