By exposing Pinus radiata seedlings to Dothistroma pini infection in the field over a period of 3 years, the main infection period in the central North Island of New Zealand was found to be from November to February (late spring to late summer). No infection was obtained when the air temperature was below 7°C or when the leaf wetness period was less than 10 hours.
