    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilt_disease

    A wilt disease is any number of diseases that affect the vascular system of plants. Attacks by fungi, bacteria, and nematodes can cause rapid killing of plants, large tree branches or even entire trees. A pine tree with pine wilt

  3. Bursaphelenchus xylophilus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bursaphelenchus_xylophilus

    Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, commonly known as pine wood nematode or pine wilt nematode (PWN), is a species of nematode that infects trees in the Pinus genus of coniferous trees and causes the disease pine wilt.

  4. Bursaphelenchus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bursaphelenchus

    Bursaphelenchus is a genus of nematodes (roundworms) in the order Aphelenchida.Most are obligate mycophages, but some feed on wood, with two species, the red ring nematode (B. cocophilus) and the pine wood nematode (B. xylophilus), economically significant as pests of coconut palms and of pine trees, respectively.

  5. Fusarium circinatum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusarium_circinatum

    Fusarium circinatum is a fungal plant pathogen that causes the serious disease pitch canker on pine trees and Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii).The most common hosts of the pathogen include slash pine (Pinus elliottii), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Monterey pine (Pinus radiata), Mexican weeping pine (Pinus patula), and Douglas fir.

  6. Pinus sylvestris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinus_sylvestris

    [8] [22] The pines may be killed by the pine wood nematode, which causes pine wilt disease. The nematode most often attacks trees that are at least ten years old and often kills trees it infects within a few weeks. [35] Previously, the pine was grown in and used extensively by the coal mining regions of Flanders, Belgium.

  7. Verticillium wilt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verticillium_wilt

    Wilt itself is the most common symptom, with wilting of the stem and leaves occurring due to the blockage of the xylem vascular tissues and therefore reduced water and nutrient flow. In small plants and seedlings, Verticillium can quickly kill the plant while in larger, more developed plants the severity can vary.

  8. Monochamus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monochamus

    The pine wood nematode Bursaphalenchus xylophilous is transmitted by several Monochamus species, and its life cycle is tied with that of its vector. [6] When nematode-infested adult Monochamus feed on healthy trees, they create wounds that allow nematodes to enter. In a susceptible host tree, nematodes breed in the xylem and eventually kill the ...

  9. Bacterial wilt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_wilt

    Bacterial wilt is a disease of the vascular tissue. When a plant is infected, E. tracheiphila multiplies within the xylem , eventually causing mechanical blockage of the water transport system. The first sign of infection, which appears about five days after acquisition, is the wilting of individual leaves on a single stem.
