Resumen

Phytophthora richardiae is no longer considered to be present in Australia. Hall (1991) records Phytophthora richardiae as present in New South Wales, citing IMI (1991). However, IMI (1991) only reports that spear rot of asparagus in NSW was caused by a “Phytophthora similar to P. richardiae”. There is also one record for this pathogen in NSW from 1960. In surveys conducted in south-western Australia for pathogens of the noxious weed, Arum lily (Zantedeschia aethiopica), P. richardiae was not found, although the author notes that it had been previously isolated in NSW (Maxwell 1997), without providing further details. All Australian states and territories have confirmed that this species is absent from their jurisdictions, which is supported by routine surveillance activities. Therefore, P. richardiae is now considered to be absent from Australia. According to Scott (2012), P. richardiae would be useful for the biological control of arum lilies in Australia “if it can be rediscovered in Australia”. Hosts of the pest are Asparagus spp., Daucus carota, Daucus carota subsp. sativus, Manihot esculenta, Solanum lycopersicum, Zantedeschia spp. References Hall G (1991) Phytophthora richardiae.
