Carl or Karl von Tubeuf FLS HFRSE (20 January 1862, in Amorbach, Kingdom of Bavaria – 8 February 1941, in Munich, Germany) was a German forestry scientist, mycologist and plant pathologist. He introduced both the term biological control and the use of a biological control to manage a plant disease. He published one of the first books on plant diseases (in German, then translated into English.) In addition to foundational work in plant pathology, he published broadly on other topics including forest botany, dendrology, mycology, and zoology. He discovered new species of gall mites of conifers.[1]
Tubeufstrasse in Munich is named after him.
