Program Description:

Phytophthora citricola causes both a root rot and trunk canker in over 45 species of plants, but has only been reported as a seedling root rot of black walnut. We have identified this pathogen as causing a stem canker of black walnut in Indiana, and are currently working on developing a better understanding of this pathogen so we may better manage this disease.
