Rose wilt agent(ROW000)

Distribution details in Czechoslovakia (former)

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 1993: Absent, invalid record
First recorded in: 1949
From NPPO: Absent, invalid record
Comments
This old report (1949) describes a disease similar to rose wilt. Since nothing similar has been seen since, the record can be considered as very dubious. In any case, EPPO no longer supports the view that there is a specific pest causing rose wilt, and the non-confirmation by the Czech Plant Protection Service just enhances this view.
