Role of Lophodermella Species in Premature Death of Pine Needles in Scotland [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Premature browning and death of the current year's needles of Pinus nigra var. calabrica and P. sylvestris was studied in two Scottish forests. The primary cause of the damage proved to be the fungus Lophodermella (Hypodermella) sulcigena, which enters at the base of the current year's needles. Control by fungicides is complicated by the fact that new infection sites (needle bases) are available throughout the sporing season. L. conjuncta may sometimes affect P. nigra var. calabrica in the same way. Various secondary fungi may later invade the needles and accelerate needle-cast.
