Objectif Rust caused by melampsora is the most serious problem of willow (salix), the main crop for renewable energy and important vegetation for conservation in europe. The eu is commited to a 15% reduction of greenhouse gas emission by 2010 and a large increase of energy production from renewable sources is expected. Economic and environmental considerations rule out the use of fungicide for rust control. This project is to develop integrated rust control measures? Without inputs of fungicide. It will address population biology and epidemiology of melampsora, sources and genetics of rust resistance in salix, function of host mixtures against rust and the potential of using a mycoparasite for biological control. The project will provide measures towards breeding for durable resistance, designing optimum mixtures and deploying the biocontrol agent to suppress rust disease.
