Dr Jeffers Airs Phytophthora Diseases on Forest Health 4 Nov 2026

Summary: .

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.


“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

Phytophthora diseases on trees and shrubs in urban and forest environments 11/4/26@1pE Dr. Steve Jeffers, Professor and Extension Specialist, Clemson University will discuss biology, impact, and management of phytophthora in forested and urban settings. Phytophthora, derived from Greek meaning “plant destroyer,” is among the most destructive plant pathogens worldwide. Phytophthora is a genus of fungi-like organisms called oomycetes, or water molds, responsible for a wide range of plant problems including wilts, cankers, blights, root rots, and even mortality in severe cases. It can be found impacting plants in forests and urban settings with notable species including P cinnamomi (root rot), P infestans (potato blight), P ramorum (sudden oak death). Dr. Steve Jeffers will cover Phytophthora biology, its impacts, and potential management strategies. Katy Crout Moretti Steve Jeffers Rory Schmitz Dept of Plant and Environmental Sciences Clemson University 130 participants TOPICS to cover today importance Phytophthora diseases, overview pathogen biology, trees shrubs affected, what species Phytophthora involved, symptoms examples diseases southeast, management strategies REMEMBER plant disease triangle susceptible host, virulent pathogen, conducive environment TREES SHRUBS host affect hardwood and conifer trees also shrubs and landscape plants, pathogen oomycetes various species Phytophthora primarily P cinnamomi southeast, favorable environment wet saturated soils and moderate temperatures, primarily cause root and crown rots but also can cause foliage blights on some shrubs ROOT AND CROWN ROTS some most economically important and damaging diseases on woody plants in southeast, USA, worldwide, cause problems annually, particularly serious in or following wet years, diseases often associated with wet or saturated soils anaerobic conditions in soil stress root increase susceptibility to infection free water promotes inoculum release and dispersal by swimming zoospores NOTEWORTHY EXAMPLES US southeast little leaf disease shortleaf pine 1930s, east ink disease American chestnut 1800s, SC laurel oaks on coast 2000s, CA and OR coast sudden oak death sod and ramorum blight 1990s, NW root rot on port-orford-cedar 1950s OTHER COUNTRIES Mexico mortality oaks and understory shrubs, Australia root rot and decline eucalyptus and other native plants, Europe oak decline INK disease or root rot on American chestnut caused by P cinnamomi hybrid chestnut seedling Seneca SC, American chestnut Lesesne forest VA TACF SUDDEN oak death sod caused by P ramorum PHY root rot on port-orford-cedar caused by P lateralis THE pathogens Phytophthora species not true fungi more closely related to plants, grouped in kingdom with golden and brown algae and diatoms; often referred to as water molds along with Pythium species frequently present and active in wet sols, water key role in pathogen life cycles and disease cycles; now commonly referred to as oomycetes stramenopiles or funguslike organisms OOMYCETES key characters hyphae produced just like true fungi so can be grown and cultured in lab; cell walls primarily of celluloselike plants so respond to different fungicides; produce two types thick-walled survival propagules oospores and chlamydospores so persist in soil long periods years; release motile swimming zoospores when soils wet produced in sporangia borne on sporangiophores with these serving as primary infective propagules to initiate infection PHYTOPHTHORA morphology oospores sporangia SPECIES of Phytophthora that attack trees and shrubs before 1999 genus static at about 60 described species P cactorum, cambivora, cinnamomi, citricola, citrophthora, cryptogea, gonapodyides, lateralis, megasperma, nicotianae, pseudotsugae NEWLY described species reported since 2000 P quercina oaks european 1999, pistaciae pistachio Turkiye 1999, ramorum viburnum rhododendron Europe oaks tanoak bay laurel CA and OR 2001, psychrophilia oaks Europe 2002, europaea oaks Europe 2002, uliginosa oaks Europe 2002, pseudosyringae hardwoods Europe pnw 2003, nemorosa oaks CA OR 2003, hedraiandra shrubs netherlands usa 2004, alni alnus europe 2004, kernoviae hardwoods rhody europe 2005, captiosa and fallax eucalyptus NZ 2006, foliorum azalea USA 2006, quercetorum oaks USA 2008, siskiyouensis myrtlewood tanoak alder OR 2007 PHYTOPTHORA as pathogens woody plants all parts of plant, blight and dieback shoots and foliage uncommon, cankers on stems and trunks common eg bleeding cankers, root and crown rots most common belowground FIRST symptoms observed above ground appear after roots diseased, chlorosis and yellowing foliage very slight at first then becoming obvious, stunted growth overall wilting and decline, cankers orange red brown discoloration on stems and lower trunk, distinct margin between healthy and diseased tissues often exuding sap equals bleeding, mortality many infected trees eventually die PHY foliage blight rhododendron petiole outward, kalmia mountain laurel further down on leaf PHY foliage blight nursery azalea PHY cankers on trees American beech weeping lesions BLEEDING cankers sudden oak death sod INITIAL symptoms occur below ground must expose roots for examination usually requires digging need know what healthy roots look like, reduced root volume lack of feeder roots, roots discolored red brown dark-brown healthy roots white or off-white, cortex sloughing and general decay rots, cankers necrosis root crown may move up stem above ground PHY root rot nursery very common in nurseries PHY root rot nursery chamaecyparis, boxwood, procumbens juniper, mugo pine, camellia, gardenia plants at ends of rows where irrigation and rainwater collect PHY root rot fieldgrown trees cryptomeria, deodar cedar, leyland cypress PHY diseases on trees in SC PHY canker laurel oak SC NORTHERN red oak Q rubra nursery seedlings susceptible BLEEDING cankers on water oak Q nigra QUERCUS texana phy lesions, Q phellos GORDONIA trees SC coast PHY root rot American chestnut try to breed resistance to blight and root rot PHY root and crown rot on sassafras Martha's Vineyard MA FLOODING and disease development necessary combination POTENTIAL management strategies once established in soil species persist indefinitely virtually impossible eradicate cinnamomi naturally present in many forest soils in se; trees with bleeding cankers and extensive root rot not cured because too much tissue damaged but fungicide treatments slow disease progress; treatment focus on healthy-appearing trees in areas where disease occurred, several fungicides available primary use nurseries landscapes POTENTIAL management strategies sanitation essential when planting new trees, avoid introducing pathogens to areas where not present; when new tree planting purchase from reliable nursery, consider testing plants before planting, improve drainage in heavy or poorly drained soils, consider replanting on berms or raised beds where soils stay wet QUESTIONS 1:58pm Q1 what tissues to lab tests and confirm? soil sample around tree Q2 samples sent where? state labs good Q3 how long infection before show aboveground? varies by aggressive pathogen, susceptible species, environment can be conducive or delaying Q4 compartmentalize infection or doomed? DK because aboveground doesn't go away Q5 environmental limits? throughout all climatic zones even as species temperature dependent Q6 bacterial wet wood similarities of all species? bleeding cankers, greater flow wet wood always do soil samples
