August 2014 – The fungal treatment applied in order to combat the disease caused by Microsphaera abbreviate pathogen- the mildew of oaks


In the “Fortress Hill Lempes- Harman Marsh” protected area, based on the field observations, the infestation of some oak individuals (Quercus sp.) with the disease caused by the pathogen Microsphaera abbreviate –the mildew of oaks- was detected.  Immediate action was taken on the affected surface by treating it with a systemic fungicide: TILT, concentration of 0,03 %. In order for the process of splashing to be efficient and cover the whole surface, the team of intervention has used the atomizer purchased through the LIFE for MARSH project.
