Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry
fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities
were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct
periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and
between June and August. Trichodorus...

Forty-seven isolates of Fusarium solani obtained from the roots of diseased and healthy conifer seedlings and forest nursery soil were tested for pathogenicity on young Douglas-fir germinants under controlled laboratory conditions. Isolate virulence varied widely; a few were highly virulent whereas many were classified as non-pathogenic. Isolates from the roots...
