Abstract

Cytospora canker is a serious fungal disease attacking many types of fruit and ornamental trees in urban parks and gardens. This factor is important when it comes to identifying the disease, as well as to studying its distribution and determining the best methods for its control. The purpose of this article is to define the species composition, host plants, seasonal dynamics of Cytospora cankers on tree plants in major cities of Central and Northern Kazakhstan (Karaganda, Astana and Pavlodar). 5 Cytospora species were recorded on leaves and bark of the examined trees during the research: Cytospora leucosperma (Pers.) Fr. on Betula pendula L., Cytospora microspora (Corda) Rabenh. on Crataegus sanguinea Pall., Cytospora salicis on Salix fragilis L., Cytospora salicis (Cda.) Rad. on Populus nigra L. and Cytospora pseudoplatani Sacc. on Acer negundo L. Cytospora species development turned to be dependent on the amount of precipitations and was slightly affected by temperature. Cytospora salicis (Сda.) Rad on Populus nigra L. and Cytospora leucosperma (Pers.) Fr on Betula pendula L. were new species for Kazakhstan. Cytospora salicis (Cda.) Rad, that parasitizes on the Populus nigra L. appeared the most hazardous specie.
