Phytopathological evaluation of woody plants in the Arboretum Včelárska paseka in Kráľová pri Senci, Slovak Republic

Abstract

We presented the results of an evaluation of woody plants health condition in the Arboretum
Včelárska paseka in Kráľová pri Senci. The park has an area at about 7 ha with 954 woody
plant species (1120 stems) belonging into 73 genera. The damage degree of the woody plants
was classified according to a 6-point scale, from degree (0) representing healthy trees to 4 and 5
indicating the necessity of immediate sanitation. The classification was specified by appending
of numerical evaluation ranging from 1 to 94 and the proposal of a sanitary measure selected
from a 47-point list. Woody plants damaged in degrees 1 and 2 (533) were recommended as
perspective, woody plants exhibiting damage degree 3 were recommended for further cultivation
after an appropriate treatment (117). Not perspective species with damage degrees 4 and 5 were
recommended to remove (91). We have found that severe damage of woody plants were caused
by fungi of genera Phellinus, Polyporus, Laetiporus, Schizophyllum, Vuilleminia, Trametes,
Daedella, Armillaria.
