Abstract

Cercospora pini-densiflorae Hori et Nambu recorded on 5-6 year old radiata pine for the first time in India at Amarkantak, M.P. state, is described. The pathogen causes serious needle blight and mortality of branches and plants. The disease is severe on young plants and may be controlled by spraying with 0.2 per cent copper based fungicide at fortnightly intervals.
