Relationship between vigour and susceptibility of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra) to blister rust (Cronartium flaccidum)

摘要

AbstractIn a 13‐year‐old plantation of Austrian pine no apparent relationship between vegetative vigour expressed as height and as stem circumference, and susceptibility to blister rust due toCronartium flaccidumwas found. Under conditions which favour the development of the disease, it is possible to select vigorous and blister rust resistant Austrian pi
