Abstract

Being in a certain state of decline and being under pressure and under the action of extremely strong stress factors that severely affect their integrity and continuity, forests in Romania are faced at the present time, from foresters’ point of view, with rigorous actions of ecological reconstruction. In this context, along other measures of management and conservation, afforestation and reforestation works are necessary, both in normal sites and in extreme sites. Completing these works requires the production of forestation material of the required quality and quantity. This aim can be attained only when, modern methods and technologies are used for prevention and control of pathogens in solariums and nurseries are applied. The current study is based both on laboratory works, where the main pathogens of forest cultures were identified, and field works, by the emplacement of experimental plots using new generation fungicides. The results obtained showed that the negative effect of the main pathogens identified can be reduced through the application of phytosanitary treatments at optimal moments, using new generation fungicides.
