Puccinia pelargonii-zonalis present in India
Up to now Puccinia pelargonii-zonalis (EPPO A2 pest) has been reported to occur only in one Asian country (Israel). A report from India, however, states that the fungus has occurred on Pelargonium hortorum since 1984 in Bangalore, Karnataka. This is the first report of P. pelargonii-zonalis from the main Asian continent.
