Breeding Increases the Efficacy of Chondrostereum purpureum in the Sprout Control of Birch

Abstract: We tested whether the pairing of selected isolates could be used to increase the efficiency of a decay fungus Chondrostereum purpureum (Pers. Ex Fr.) Pouzar to control hardwood sprouting in Finland. We paired C. purpureum strains efficient in sprout control or highly active in laccase production, and tested the efficacy of their progeny in spout control experiments. This procedure resulted in a strain with an efficacy superior to that of the parental strains. The mortality of birch (Betula pendula Roth. and B.… Show more

“…Mortality means that a stump had no sprouts and was therefore considered dead. Silver (Betula pendula) and downy birches (B. pubescens) were not separated in the analyses since they have been shown to respond similarly in these treatments (Hamberg et al 2015). The data used in the analysis consisted of 1436 birch stumps in 2015 and 2017, but, in 2016, only 1371 stumps were found and measured.…”

“…The basal suspension of C. purpureum (provided by Verdera Ltd.) included the fungal strain R5 (Hamberg et al 2015) containing a minimum of 10 6 colony forming units (Gonzáles 1996). It was diluted with tap water just before the treatments in the field (dilutions 1:100, 1:200 or 1:400).…”
