Verbatim
e0“However, in the glasshouse trial, A. pulchella , A. extensa , A. lateriticola and A. drummondii did significantly reduce the soil inoculum of P. cinnamomi , indicating a possible biological control effect on the pathogen.”
e1“Five Acacia species native to Western Australia were assessed for their potential to protect the highly susceptible species Banksia grandis Wield from infection by the plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands.”

- Mechanism Reduced soil temperature or moisture did not explain the observed protection.
- Observation Protection did not recur in the glasshouse where conditions favoured P. cinnamomi.
- Intervention effect Acacia spp. delayed infection of B. grandis.
- Intervention effect None of five Acacia species definitively protected B. grandis from P. cinnamomi.
