Description
Summary:The most numerous attacks have been ascribed to A. mellea, in various orchards, vineyards, olive groves, forests, wood plantations, shade trees and other ornamental ecosystems, on broadleaved trees and shrubs, but also on coniferous ones, often as a weakness parasite, but also with evident pathogenic capacity, especially in case of high inoculum pressure. In recent decades, particularly in Mediterranean environments, the attacks of the fungus have become increasingly serious everywhere, even in forests, especially in dry areas, in parallel with the increasing phenomena of forest and tree declining, associated with climate change, often without clarity on the role of the fungus on the death of plants (Cellerino et al., 1990; Luisi et al., Eds, 1992; Luisi et al., 1996). Taking into account the Lazio region, heretofore neglected, in order to provide clarifications on the aforementioned aspects, this note aims to report the results of a series of investigations carried out in the last fifteen years to detect the incidence of the various species of Armillaria in various orchards, wood plantations, forests and ornamental ecosystems of the region and to identify the real predisposing factors for their attacks. MATERIAL AND METHODS The surveys have been conducted over the last fifteen years, on arboreal or shrubby agrarian, forest, or ornamental plants in various areas of the Lazio region, taking into account different stations from sea level to mountain areas, considering various sites per station.
