Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2011: Absent, unreliable record
Comments
Two isolates of Fusarium foetens were recovered from soil in Cape Arid National Park. The identity of the fungus was confirmed by morphological and molecular methods. However, it has not been reported since then in association with diseased plants, more information would be needed to better understand its situation in Australia.
