On mature trees, the most common symptoms of PPC include resin bleeding, resinous cankers, wilting ofneedles and dieback. In nurseries the main symptoms are yellowish needles, and wilting of foliage and shoots. PPC isconsidered one of the most important diseases of conifers globally and at least 60 species of Pinus along with Pseudotsuga menziesii are known to be susceptible. Quarantine regulations are crucial to minimize the risk of new introductions into disease-free countries. However, if these measures fail, implementation of environmentally friendly controlmethods is currently encouraged in an integrated management approach that minimizes the use of chemicals in forests.This review therefore summarizes current knowledge of biological control using endophytic fungi, bacteria and viruses,and other environmentally friendly methods to control PPC, including thermotherapy, natural products with fungicidaleffects, promoters of innate host resistance mechanisms and breeding for resistance. Key research gaps to be addressedfor improvement of effective management of this disease are discussed.
