History Of

White pine blister rust, Cronartium ribicola J. C. Fischer, requires a pine (Pinus L.) and a Ribes L. as obligate alternate hosts. The center of diversity for this rust is east of the Ural Mountains, where the organism evolved with P. cembra L and R. nigrum var. sibericum L over several million years. Susceptible Pinus strobus L from North America was imported into England in 1710 and was transplanted throughout eastern Europe. In 1865, rust was first reported on these introduced pines in Eastonia. In the late 1800s, the white pine nursery industry continued to develop in Europe, but was declining in the United States. American foresters began importing white pines from Europe. Rust was found on cultivated currants in New York in 1906 and U.S. inspectors began examining for the disease. In 1910, infected white pines were imported from France into Vancouver, British Columbia; in 1911, infected pines were found in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio, Ontario, and Quebec. Additional rust-infected imported pines were found in nurseries in Wisconsin in 1913, and Minnesota in 1914. Rust spread to native pines in New York by 1915 and to Idaho by 1927. A summary of the blister rust control program, the recent spread of the disease, and the present state regulations will be presented.

Cutting Operation

Studies were undertaken in Nova Scotia to determine (i) the effect of different cutting practices on the establishment of a RIBES population and of white pine regeneration, (ii) whether blister rust is a major factor in retarding the establishment of white pine regeneration, and (iii) the feasibility and cost of RIBES eradication as a direct control measure against blister rust. No relationship was found to exist between RIBES establishment and the degree of cutting. Uncut softwood stands, where white pine is the predominant species, show evidence of producing a future pine crop. Forest types supporting white pine appear to offer the best opportunities for pine reproduction where a clear-cutting operation has given the stand maximum opening. Results of the present study to date do not show that blister rust is a major factor in retarding the establishment of white pine regeneration. To eradicate RIBES from the study area by a complete systematic search required 1 man-hour per acre. Because of the small number of RIBES plants found and of the tendency for them to occur consistently in moist, low-lying habitats, a complete systematic search for these plants appears to be unnecessary. It is suggested that one man, trained to recognize RIBES and their probable location, could cover large forest tracts with a minimum of time expended in searching localities unlikely to support these plants.
