Phytophthora: "The Biological Bulldozer.."

 

"There are no known ways to eradicate P.cinnamomi, which has the
potential to cause immense irreversible damage to
Victoria’s ecosystems.....
P.cinnamomi also poses a significant threat to nursery
stock (native and exotic) and consequently to
 residential landscapes.... "
Victorian Government Department of Sustainability and Environment, Annual Report 2004-05, p.50
