Abstract
This study is devoted to the investigation of the widespread powdery mildew disease and the composition of its causative mycobiota in natural and introduced populations of hawthorn (Crataegus L.). These data serve as a scientific basis for assessing the phytosanitary status of hawthorn populations under natural and introduction conditions, predicting the dissemination dynamics of the pathogen, and conserving biological diversity.References
