Field surveys and inoculation experiments were carried out in order to determine the most important stem‐canker fungi on willows planted for energy production. The pathogenicity of different fungal isolates and factors influencing infection were studied in the field and in greenhouse experiments, where canker extension was measured after inoculation either on dormant plants or on plants undergoing active growth.
