"Protecting our landscapes from Phytophthora's impact is crucial, but let's not forget to 'save the genus Phytophthora' to strengthen our future biosecurity. Balance is key to safeguarding both our environment and our scientific future!" @BrunoScanu4 #phytophthora #biosecurity

@karchuntan @BS_PP @unissTweet Yes, good question. We are going to test phosphonate among other treatments, both by trunk injection and foliar application 🤞🏻

[Bruno Scanu @BrunoScanu4]

@NMastrodimos @BS_PP @unissTweet The site seems to be indeed favoring Phytophthora infection, soil is extremely wet in winter and dry in summer. This conditions are perfect for Phytophthora, especially clade 6 species. But what is surprising of this outbreak is the unexpected high susceptibility of olive trees
