I encourage to those working with Fusarium circinatum to submit an abstract to the Special Session 300, “Pine pitch canker - strategies for management of Gibberella circinata in greenhouses and forests”. Additional information about how to submit the abstracts is written below. A selection of the abstracts will be invited to participate in the "Forests" (SCI 1,5) Special Issue we are planning before the meeting.

Description of the Session
Fusarium circinatum (teleomorph: Gibberella circinata) was first detected in North America, since when the pathogen has spread into Central and South America, South Africa, Asia and, more recently, Europe. F. circinatum is now considered the most important pathogen affecting Pinus seedlings and mature trees in many countries globally; asymptomatic seedlings may be planted out, resulting in very serious losses in forests.
