Abstract

Podosphaera tridactyla, the perfect state of plum powdery mildew, was detected on Myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera) at Lidster, NSW. All previous confirmed Australian records of powdery mildew on Prunus spp. have been the conidial state Oidium sp. Previous assumptions that these mildews may be the imperfect state of Sphaerotheca pannosa may be incorrect.
