Lachnellula willkommii - Лахнеллюла Вилькомми - Woolly larch scale - Wollige Lärchenlaus - Lärchen-Blütenrost 9/3/15—4/23/23
Lachnellula willkommii is a species of fungus in the family Hyaloscyphaceae, within the order Helotiales of the Ascomycota phylum. It is commonly known as woolly larch scale, and it is a plant pathogen that causes a disease known as larch blister rust or larch flower rust on various species of larch trees.
The fungus attacks the needles and young shoots of larch trees, causing discoloration, drying, and premature shedding. It also affects the cones and bark, causing cankers and galls. The disease can cause significant damage to larch forests and plantations, leading to economic losses in the forestry industry.
Lachnellula willkommii produces tiny, cup-shaped fruiting bodies called apothecia, which release spores that infect new larch trees. The spores are dispersed by wind, insects, and animals, allowing the fungus to spread to nearby trees.
Control measures for Lachnellula willkommii include cultural practices such as pruning and thinning infected trees, as well as fungicides and biological control agents. Research on the ecology, taxonomy, and physiology of Lachnellula willkommii aids in understanding its distribution, virulence, and potential control measures.
In summary, Lachnellula willkommii is a plant pathogen that causes larch blister rust or larch flower rust on various species of larch trees. The fungus produces tiny cup-shaped fruiting bodies that release spores responsible for the disease's spread. Control measures include cultural practices, fungicides, and biological control agents. Research on this species aids in understanding its ecology, taxonomy, and potential control measures.
