Description: Das Projekt "Biological Control of Heterobasidion annosum" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Professur für Forstschutz und Dendrologie durchgeführt. The decay causing fungus Heterobasidion annosum is the main pathogen of conifer trees. We identify potential candidates for its biological control. The basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum causes more than 50 percent of all butt rots of Norway spruce and consequently has a tremendous economic impact on forestry. The fungus commonly infects stumps and spreads to living trees by root contacts. Based on studies on the population structure of the target organism and its antagonists, we try to develop a biological control method for this disease. Besides saprotrophic fungi, we study also the behavior of necrotrophic parasites in tree stumps.
