South-western Australia harbours a biodiversity hotspot on severely phosphorus-impoverished soils. Threats include eutrophication due to phosphorus enrichment, due to increased fire frequency and spraying with phosphite to reduce the impacts of the introduced pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. We propose a strategy to work towards alternatives to phosphite for pathogen management.
