Pink disease - its incidence and economic importance in Sarawak Malaysia

Chin F.H., . (1990) Pink disease - its incidence and economic importance in Sarawak Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

Pink disease a stem disease on young trees of Acacia mangium Willd. associated with Corticium salmonicolor Berk and Br. is a major problem in reforestation in Sarawak. The earliest occurrence of pink disease on A. mangium was recorded in 1979 and it reached epidemic proportion in 1987. To date nearly six thousand trees of A. mangium distributed in five reforestation sites and over one thousand trees planted in trial plots are infected. The disease is prevalent on 3-4 year-old trees with 6-12 cm diameter. Treatment with two fungicides Callixin Ready-Mixed and Perenox are currently applied in trial plots and are found to be effective treatment when the disease has not reached epidemic proportions

Abstract

Pink disease a stem disease on young trees of Acacia mangium Willd. associated with Corticium salmonicolor Berk and Br. is a major problem in reforestation in Sarawak. The earliest occurrence of pink disease on A. mangium was recorded in 1979 and it reached epidemic proportion in 1987. To date nearly six thousand trees of A. mangium distributed in five reforestation sites and over one thousand trees planted in trial plots are infected. The disease is prevalent on 3-4 year-old trees with 6-12 cm diameter. Treatment with two fungicides Callixin Ready-Mixed and Perenox are currently applied in trial plots and are found to be effective treatment when the disease has not reached epidemic proportions
