1 Forest Pathology in New Zealand No. 22 (Second Edition 2010) Lupin blight Monique Williams (Revised by M.A. Dick) Fig. 1 - Shoot of Lupinus arboreus showing crooked and twisted tip caused by Colletotrichum lupini. Causal organism Colletotrichum lupini (Bondar) Nirenberg, Feiler & Hagedorn (formerly called Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penzig)

2 Type of injury Infects stems, branches, leaves, petioles, and seedpods causing leaf loss, dieback, shoot distortion, and mortality of the whole plant. Diagnostic features Branches and stems twisted or crooked. Withering of leaves and petioles followed by premature casting of foliage. Elongated stem and branch cankers that are lens-shaped and slightly sunken. Basal cankers distorted and swollen with cracks and internal brown staining. Branch and stem breakage at cankers. Seed pods flattened and necrotic. Salmon-pink spore masses on necrotic tissue. Hosts Lupinus angustifolius Lupinus arboreus Lupinus cosentinii Lupinus pubescens Distribution Throughout New Zealand. Fig. 2 - Elongated stem canker with spore masses on necrotic tissue of lupin.

3 Fig. 3 - Infected lupin seed pods. Disease development The fungus overwinters in plant debris on the ground and spores are aerially dispersed. Spore infection occurs after a period of warm wet weather. The fungus attacks plants of all ages, and all above ground plant parts are susceptible to infection. Infected leaves and petioles wither and much of the foliage is cast. After infection a crooking of succulent stems and branches occurs, which in the early stage is not associated with visible lesions. Lensshaped lesions up to 3 cm long develop on branches and stems, particularly at branch axils. Salmon-pink spore masses develop on the lesions when the weather is warm and wet. Older plants with a woody stem often develop cankers at ground level. These cankers appear as a distorted swollen area with external cracks and internal brown staining. When there is substantial dieback or severe basal cankers, plants will die. Death of plants infected while in the cotyledon stage or when only the first few leaflets have developed is inevitable and rapid. The fungus also attacks seed pods which become

4 flattened and necrotic, with the pink fruiting bodies visible on the outside. Seed production is markedly reduced. Economic importance The yellow tree lupin Lupinus arboreus has been utilised in New Zealand for its nitrogen-fixing capabilities for many years. Lupin has been vital for the growth and continued health of Pinus radiata in sand dune forestry. Lupin regenerates naturally after each thinning and harvesting operation, and until the advent of the disease it was self-sustaining once it had become established in an area. Fig. 4 - Healthy lupin growing under Pinus radiata. Fig. 5 Mortality of Lupinus arboreus caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

5 In coastal areas where programmes of sand dune stabilisation took place, lupin seed was sown between rows of the sand-binding marram grass Ammophila arenaria. Not only did the lupin supply nitrogen by the symbiotic bacterial fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, but it also had the ability to survive and do well in the harsh environment of a windblown sand dune, and it was not palatable to browsing animals. Although the disease was first recognised in 1989, anecdotal evidence suggests that it was present for at least two years prior to that. A national survey of lupin populations conducted in early 1990 estimated that previously-established lupin had been reduced by 90-95% in the North Island and the northern half of the South Island, and in other parts of the South Island 60-65% of lupins had died. To some degree there has been a recovery of the lupin population throughout the country but nowhere has it attained its previous vigour. Loss of lupin from the 60,000 ha of exotic forests planted on sand dunes threatened the productivity of those forests. With a substantial reduction in the supply of nitrogen, the prospects for these forests are stagnation of tree growth in older stands, failure of young stands to become productive, and a risk of reversion to drifting sand dunes in exposed areas. Control On an experimental scale the fungicide chlorothalonil gave good control of lupin blight when applied at a rate of 1.5 kg/ha at fortnightly intervals. The logistics of aerial spray applications to control lupin blight would be difficult, the cost high, and where lupins are growing amongst trees, or other tall vegetation, spray deposition on lupin would be much reduced. A range of alternative nitrogen-fixing plants are used to supplement the surviving lupin.
