Pathogens found in nursery stock imported into Western Australia
Davison et al. recently published a journal in Australasian Plant Pathology on pathogens found with nursery stock imported into Western Australia from other states. The study found that Phytophthora species were present in 10% of the samples and Pythium species were present in 25% of the samples taken from 15 consignments. Plant pathogenic nematodes were isolated from 12 of 13 consignments. This current research has shown that we need to forever vigilant about purchasing nursery stock from either accredited nurseries or those with high hygiene standards.
