Brown spot needle blight is a disease found in pine trees in the southeast and it is making huge economic impacts. This disease causes yellowing, brown-red spots/bands, and needle necrosis in pine trees, and multiple years of infection may result in the tree’s death. Optimal tree growth is necessary for the sustainability and profitability of these pine forests and industrial wood plantations.
