Botryosphaeria infections in New Zealand grapevine nurseries: Sources of inoculum and infection pathways A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Pathology by Regina Billones-Baaijens Lincoln University 2011 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Pathology Abstract Botryosphaeria infections in New Zealand grapevine nurseries: Inoculum sources and infection pathways by Regina Billones-Baaijens The botryosphaeriaceous fungi can cause decline, dieback and death of grapevines. Anecdotal evidence has indicated that these pathogens might be present in the young vines sold by propagation nurseries, so this study investigated their role in spread of this disease. Sampling of grapevine nurseries across New Zealand showed that botryosphaeriaceous infections were present in eight out of nine nurseries with infection incidence ranging from 5 to 63%. Of the 311 propagation materials and plants received, 23% were positive for botryosphaeriaceous infection, with a total of 120 isolates recovered.

Twenty wine regions across the country were nominated by a panel of experts, followed by a period of public voting lasting several weeks.
