The genus Pvnus is represented in Pakistan by three species: (1) 

 P. roxburghii Sargent, (2) P. wallichiana Jackson, and (3) P. gerar- 

 diana Wall, ex Lamb. The known diseases of the former two species 

 are given below. 



1. Pinus roxburghii Sargent (Chir pine) 



Coleosporium campanulae (Pers.) Lev. (X) 



A needle rust which may be serious at times, causes 

 early shedding of needles. 

 Cronartium himalayense Bagchee (XX) 



Rare due to dry situation where the pine grows. 

 Fomes annosus (Fr.) Cke. (XX) 



Damage is not significant, except in very moist 

 localities. 

 Fomes pini (Thore ex Fr.) Karst. (XX) 



Rare. 



2. Pinus wallichiana Jackson (blue pine) 



Armillaria mellea (Vahl.) Quel. (XX) 



Causes root rot with white stringy decay in wood. 

 Cenangium ferruginosum (Fr.) Fr. (XX) 



Kills young plants, about 10 years old, in moist 

 localities. 

 Coleosporium barclayense Bagchee (X) 



Causes early shedding of needles. 

 Cronartium rib ico la Fischer ( XX )
