GENERAL INFORMATION
Description
A soil-borrne fungus which has a specific biocontrol application
Example pests controlled
Stinking sumac (Ailanthus altissima)
Example applications
Fruit including soft, stone and tree fruit; Walnuts, Grapevines; Ornamentals; Non-agricultural areas such as paths, walkways, railway tracks
Efficacy & activity
Demonstrated to be highly effective in field trials with no severe impact on other tree species commonly associated with Ailanthus in Austria. However, there is a risk of wilt developing in some agricultural crops (e.g. cucumber, tomato, petunias, spinach, hops, alfalfa, potato)
