<Yesterday a tree surgeon came up to me while doing a tree survey in a
London
Park and asked me about the control of Phytophera.
He started talking about using Potassium Phosphite fertilizer over root
plate and spraying foliage with same that could reduce infection.
Anyone had any experience or knowledge, maybe on a very small scale.
It can be used to control Phytophera cactorum on strawberries on a
search on
the web, rather different to a 10 m high tree.>

This weeks Hort Week has an article about an American scientist (Dr
Klinger) who claims Phytopthora is linked to/ caused by acid rain and
recommends "correcting the pH and nurturing the trees back by
introducing nutrients".  Maybe the means the Pot Phos?

It should be noted that pretty much everyone else disagrees with him and
it is possible he is wrong.
