TY - T1 - Resistance of Norway spruce (Picea abies) to root and butt rot (Heterobasidion parviporum) in peatland and mineral soil SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-201507211874; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/29251 T3 - A1 - Niemi, Suvi A2 - PB - Helsingfors universitet Y1 - 2012 LA - eng AB - Root and butt rot is the most harmful fungal disease affecting Norway spruce in southern Finland. In approximately 90 % of cases the causal agent is Heterobasidion parviporum. Root and butt rot infections have not been reported in Finnish peatlands. However, the increase in logging operations in peatlands means there is a risk that the fungus will eventually spread to these areas. The aim of this study was to find out the impact of growing site on the resistance of Norway spruce to Heterobasi...
