Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The rust produces uredinia and telia on Populus species.
- Observation The rust produces pycnia and aecia on Larix.
- Observation Poplar leaf rust causes severe leaf damage and early defoliation in susceptible hosts.
- Observation Defoliation can recur two or three times per season with new growth flushes.
- Observation Successive defoliation can lead to winter injury, dieback, and reduced timber growth.
- Association Rust damage can increase susceptibility of some poplar varieties to Dothichiza dieback.
- Observation Rust damage on Larix hosts is negligible.
