Abstract
BARNARD, E. L., and G. M. BLAKESLEE. 1980. Pitch canker of slash pine seedlings: A new disease in forest tree nurseries. Plant Disease 64:695-696. Pitch canker, caused by Fusarium moniliformevar. subglulinans, is reported for the first time as a cause of mortality among first-year slash pine seedlings in forest tree nurseries. Infected seedlings showed a variety of symptoms; the most diagnostic was a resin-soaked lesion on the lower stem.Keywords
