This study examined the ability of foliar applications of the fungicide phosphite to contain colonisation of Phytophthora cinnamomi in a range of plant species growing in natural plant communities in the northern sandplain and jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) forest of south-western Australia. Wound inoculation of plant stems with P. cinnamomi was used to determine the efficacy of phosphite over time after application. Colonisation by P. cinnamomi was reduced for 5–24 months after phosphite was applied, depending on the concentration of phosphite used, plant species treated and the time of phosphite application. Plant species within and between plant communities varied considerably in their ability to take up and retain phosphite in inoculated stems and in the in planta concentrations of phosphite required to contain P. cinnamomi. As spray application rates of phosphite increased from 5 to 20 g L–1, stem tissue concentrations increased, as did the ability of a plant species to contain P. cinnamomi. However, at application rates of phosphite above 5 g L–1 phytotoxicity symptoms were obvious in most species, with some plants being killed. So, despite 10 and 20 g L–1 of phosphite being more effective and persistent in controlling P. cinnamomi, these rates are not recommended for application to the plant species studied. The results of this study indicate that foliar application of phosphite has considerable potential in reducing the impact of P. cinnamomi in native plant communities in the short-term. However, in order to maintain adequate control, phosphite should be sprayed every 6–12 months, depending on the species and/or plant community.

The ability of phosphite to control Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands in five Western Australian native plant species was examined. Foliar application of phosphite slowed, but did not completely inhibit, colonisation of stems by P. cinnamomi. For example, in Banksia hookeriana Meisn. inoculated 2 weeks after phosphite application, 5 g phosphite/L inhibited the growth rate of P. cinnamomi by 57% compared with the non-phosphite-treated plants. The longevity of phosphite efficacy varied with plant species. Foliar application of 5 and 10 g phosphite/L decreased the growth rate of P. cinnamomi in Dryandra sessilis (Knight) Domin. for at least 12 months after it was applied. Application rates of 5 and 10 g phosphite/L for Banksia grandis Willd. and 10 g/L for B. hookeriana were effective for at least 18 months after application. In Hibbertia commutata Steud. and Dampiera linearis R.Br., phosphite was effective for less than 6 and 12 months, respectively. In a second trial, plants were inoculated with P. cinnamomi at different time periods after phosphite was applied and time to death was recorded. There was a range of responses depending on the plant species and time of year they were inoculated. The initial levels of phosphite in roots and stems of B. grandis, B. hookeriana and D. sessilis and the rate of decrease of phosphite in these tissues differed between plant species. In general, concentrations of phosphite in stems were higher or equivalent to those in roots. This study indicates that the long-term efficacy of phosphite depends on both the plant species treated and the time of year the plants are infected with P. cinnamomi.
