Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar
Abstract:
14 fungal pathogens were recorded on Willows growing in different areas of West Pakistan. Melampsora epitea (Kze. and Schm). Thuem. appeared in an epiphytotic form on nursery plants. Absence of large scale and compact plantations of Willows seemed to be a limiting factor in the appearance of few other pathogens in epiphytotic forms. No bacterial or virus disease was observed.
