K. aPink disease of Eucalyptus in India.h[electronic resource] c1978 aLarge scale mortality of Eucalyptus tercticornis and E. grandis caused by Corticiutn salmonicolor in high rainfall locations in India is reported. Sytiiptoms, incidence and epidemiology of the disease and patho- genicity of the fungus are worked out. Suitable alternative species based on performance and field resistance to the disease have been selected. Possibilities of fungicidai control of the disease are explored. Species of Eucalyptus generally possess wide adaptability to a wide range of site. Most species are fast growing in exotic locations. For these reasons, eucalypts have been intro- duced to many countries. In India, E.globulus Labill introduced in tbe Nilgiris in tbe I9tb century, has since naturalised. E. tercticornis Sm., the so called Mysore hybrid has been raised in large-scale plantations in most states since 1962 and 0.3 million ba were raised within a decade. E. grandis (Hill) Maiden is planted in the bigh altitudinal ranges, mostly in Kerala. Other species of Eucalyptus are under extensive trial in different parts of tbe country. aEucalyptus aDoença Fúngica aEucalipto aCorticiutn salmonicolor aDoença rosada1 aBAKSHI, B. K.1 aREDDY, M. A.
