1985
Shayesta, D. | Rahman, M.A.
Tropical pines have been under introduction trials in Bangladesh since 1961-62 with a view to building up a source of long-fibred pulp. Observations concerning the pathology of planted pines at Forest Research Institute Campus, Chittagong are reported. The main problem noted was needle-cast on Pinus elliotti Engelm.; Botryodiplodia theobromae Pat. and Pestalotia macrotricha KL., were isolated from the infected needles. Pathogenicity test results indicated that both of the fungi contributed towards the development of the needle-cast of P. elliotti, with P. macrotricha having a dominant role. The disease, however, is not a serious threat to the crop and has not been recorded on other pines on the campus
