Abstract

Cytospora chrysosperma, Phomopsis macrospora, and Hypomyces solani are pathogenic on cottonwood (Populus deltoides). These canker-causing fungi were most virulent in November, when rains were frequent and temperatures were between 20 and 30 C. Trees growing on an unfavorable site were more susceptible to C. chrysosperma than those on a favorable site.
