Volutella blight is commonly found on boxwood plants worldwide. Although some consider it mainly a saprophyte surviving on dead tissues, it is capable of initiating disease on live wounded tissues. Here we present some background on the disease, some basic biology on how it causes infections, and end with its disease cycle and recommendations for management in nurseries.
The Horticultural Research Institute (HRI), founded in 1962, has provided more than $10 million in funds to research projects covering a broad range of industry issues. HRI is committed to supporting the horticultural industry’s ability to innovate, sustain essential functions, and respond effectively to challenges with research that can be practically applied in nurseries, greenhouses, retail garden centers, landscapes, and other green industry businesses.
