Suppressive Soil Reduces Carnation Disease (1981)
Subject:
Suppressive Soil Reduces Carnation Disease
Abstract:
Fusarium wilt diseases caused by various specialized forms of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlect. do not occur or are restricted in some field soils. These soils are designated Fusarium wilt-suppressive as contrasted to Fusarium wilt-conducive soils in which the disease readily develops. The wilt-suppressive soil used in this study was Chualar sandy loam obtained from a cultivated field near Soledad, California.
