PHYTOPHTHORA DIEBACK: Is It Killing The Plants On Your Property?
Phytophthora dieback is a plant disease caused by the
introduced plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi.
Previously called Jarrah dieback, the disease affects over 40% of
plant species in the southwest and is recognised as a major threat
to our local biodiversity, cultural and economic values. Once soil
is infected it can not be eradicated, but through simple hygiene
and management actions, its impact and rate of spread can be
reduced.
