European larch canker, caused by the fungus Lachnellula willkommii, is a serious disease in many parts of
Europe. In Canada, larch canker was first discovered in the Maritimes in 1980.
Surveys were conducted in 1981 to establish the distribution of the disease and
it was found to be widespread on native Larix
in southeastern New Brunswick and at a number of locations in central and
western Nova Scotia. The disease was first found in Prince Edward Island in
1992. |
