Puccinia pelargonii-zonalis Doidge 1926

Notes

Cunningham (1923b) recorded this rust as Puccinia granularis Kalch and Cke. Doidge (1926) showed that P. pelargonii-zonalis was morphologically distinct from this species, and Cunningham (1931a) described this rust under P. pelargonii-zonalis. This species has been introduced into New Zealand with the host. In the North Island it can be an important disease of horticultural varieties of bedding zoned-leaved geraniums. Fortunately it occurs only in late summer months after the plants have flowered. Infected plants can be pruned back and sprayed with an organic fungicide.
