Phaeocryptopus gaeumannii, the causal agent of Swiss needle cast disease, is widely distributed throughout New Zealand, where the disease may cause significant growth losses in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) plantations. In western Oregon, where the pathogen is native, pathogen abundance and disease severity are correlated with mean daily winter temperatures and spring moisture, enabling the development of climate-based disease prediction models. The distribution of P. gaeumannii and severity of Swiss needle cast was surveyed in 16 Douglas-fir plantations throughout New Zealand in 2005. Retention of foliage was assessed in the field and samples of 1- and 2-year-old needles were collected for assessment of P. gaeumannii abundance. Foliage retention and abundance of P. gaeumannii varied across sites. Less colonisation by P. gaeumannii and greater needle retention was found in the South Island. Abundance of P. gaeumannii was found to be positively correlated with August minimum temperature and June average temperature, and showed a similar relationship to winter temperature as observed in western Oregon. These data will be used to derive a disease prediction model for Swiss needle cast in New Zealand that can be used to guide further research and provide short- and long-term disease risk predictions and cost/benefit analyses.
