AB Fusarium circinatum, the causal of pine pitch canker disease (PPC), is now considered amongthe most important pathogens of Pinaceae in the world. Although in Europe PPC is only establishedin the Iberian Peninsula, the potential endangered areas cover over 10 million hectares under thecurrent host distribution and climatic conditions. It is therefore a priority to test the susceptibility ofthose species and their provenances, within Central and Northern Europe and find biological controlagents (BCAs) against the disease. In this study, the susceptibility of Pinus sylvestris, P. mugo andPicea abies Romanian provenances to F. circinatum was tested using three inoculum doses. In parallel,the potential use of Trichoderma atroviride and Trichoderma viride as BCAs against F. circinatum was alsotested. This study has demonstrated, for the first time, the susceptibility of P. mugo to F. circinatum.Likewise, the susceptibility of P. abies was also confirmed. The fact that the Romanian provenance ofP. sylvestris has not been susceptible to F. circinatum suggests genetic resistance as a potential tool tomanage the disease. This, together with the apparent effectiveness of Trichoderma species as BCAs,seems to indicate that an integrated management of the disease might be feasible.
