Pathogenic species
Lecanosticta acicola is a widespread plant pathogen of over 50 species of pine (Pinus spp.) globally, causing a disease known as brown spot needle blight.[5][6] The disease infects pine needles and causes them to prematurely drop, resulting in reduced growth and yield losses.[5]
In 2022, Lecanosticta pharomachri was implicated as the cause of needle disease outbreaks in Colombian planted forests.[7]
