The most frequently recorded were foliage diseases (351 records, 42 species), needle diseases (162 records, 23 species), rots (111 records, 56 species), cankers (73 records, 9 species), and shoot diseases (72 records, 14 species). Ten most frequently recorded species were the following fungi: Erysiphe alphitoides, Lophodermium spp., Cryphonectria parasitica, Rhytisma acerinum, Sawadaea bicornis, Diplodia pinea, Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus, Mycosphaerella pini, Blumeriella jaapii, and Cronartium ribicola.
