Occurrence of Rhizoctonia rot of common alder and birch seedlings in forest nurseries
Journal of Plant Protection Research 43 (1), 65-70
Abstract: Rhizoctonia solani was isolated from 91 % of alder and birch seedlings with stem rot symptoms and 2-3% of seeds. Sowing of seeds to substratum infested with R. solani resulted in pre- and postemergence damping off. On leaves and stem parts of alder and birch, inoculated with 3 isolates of R. solani, necrosis spread from 0.22 to 0.52 mm/hr.
