ZG Yan Australian Journal of Botany 1990. doi:10.1071/bt9900475
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Lysiana exocarpi occurred on eight of the 15 potential host species surveyed.
- Observation More than 90% of Lysiana exocarpi plants infested Heterodendrum oleifolium and Myoporum platycarpum, its major hosts.
- Observation Amyema linophyllum, A. miquelii and A. miraculosum were highly host specific.
- Observation A. preissii and A. quandang were highly host specific.
- Association Occurrence of L. exocarpi on M. platycarpum showed significant geographic variation across the study area.
- Association Myoporum platycarpum was heavily infested by L. exocarpi at sites with annual rainfall above 250 mm but not at sites below 250 mm.
- Association The proportion of M. platycarpum trees infested by L. exocarpi was significantly correlated with annual rainfall.
- Association No rainfall-related trend was detected for H. oleifolium infested by L. exocarpi.
