Roanne Sutherland, Forest Pathologist (Scion) talks about the impact of myrtle rust of different species in New Zealand's natural environment.
A variety of different myrtle species naturally occur in the Bay of Plenty, including ramarama, rōhutu, mānuka, climbing rātā and pōhutukawa. Long term monitoring plots established in 2018 in the Bay of Plenty region show that disease impacts have increased over the past three summers.
Roanne will give a presentation on the data collected from monitoring and talk about some of the expected ecosystem impacts.
