A study was conducted of the influence of various climatic and
soil factors on the development of onion pink root disease and of the
influences of temperature, light, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources,
and vitamins on the growth in vitro of an Oregon isolate of the pink
root fungus, Pyrenochaeta...

Studies to identify the environmental factors that influence the rate of ectotrophic mycelial growth of Phellinus weirii (Murr.) Gilbertson along Douglas-fir roots were undertaken both in the laboratory and in the field. The effects of soil pH, nitrogen, moisture, temperature, microorganisms and bulk density were investigated. In the lab, the...
