Phyllosticta solitaria

Summary of the Express Pest Risk Analysis for Phyllosticta solitaria

PRA area: Poland

Describe the endangered area:  The entire PRA area

Main conclusions:

Phyllosticta solitaria is a plant pathogen that infects apple, pears, thornapples (cultivated and wild). P. solitaria causes apple blotch. Pathogen occurs in North America. It was reported only once in Europe in the mid-20th century in Denmark. Recently published reports from the USA suggest that losses caused by Phyllosticta solitaria has been decreasing in the last few years.

Pathogen prefers high temperature and humidity. Given the above, climatic conditions in PRA area are adverse for Phyllosticta solitaria. Fungus still could potentially pose a risk for apple orchards, because of lack of pathogens with the same ecological niche.

In case of climatic change Phyllosticta solitaria may cause serious losses in apple and pear crops.

Monitoring of  Malus, Pyrus, Crataegus plants for planting



Phytophthora chrysanthemi

Summary of the Express Pest Risk Analysis for Phytophthora chrysanthemi

PRA area: Poland

Describe the endangered area: the entire PRA area

Main conclusions

Phytophthora chrysanthemi is pathogen of plants of genus Chrysanthemum. From 1998 (Naher et. al. 2011) to 2017 P. chrysanthemi was detected in 4 countries (Tomiċ and  Iviċ 2015, Götz et. al 2017).

Phytophthora chrysanthemi also appears in Germany, which are second only to Netherlands in production of plant material for cultivation and export.

Rating of the likelihood of impact without phytosanitary measures: High

Greenhouses crops are at particular risk due to sufficient (high temperature) conditions.

Rating of the likelihood of damage in open air cultivation: Low

Potential risk of losses caused by pathogen is low because of climatic conditions in PRA area at the moment. The assessment should be repeated in case of climatic changes.

Additionally, the similarity of symptoms between infections caused by Phytophthora chrysanthemi and other Phytophthora species can cause numerous misidentifications.

Rating of the likelihood of entry: moderate

Rating of the likelihood of establishment: high (for crops in protected conditions)

Rating of the likelihood of spread: low

Pest may spread in field crops and gardens in case of climatic changes in PRA area.

Control of imported material from area of pest occurence is a basic phytosanitary measure.
