A Bioassay to Quantify Pythium Graminicola in Soil

Sorghum seedlings were used as bait. P. graminicola was more frequently isolated from seedlings placed in a soil slurry for 24 h than from seedlings grown in infested soils for 7 d. In the 24 h bioassay the frequency of isolation of P. graminicola from infected autoclaved soil and field soil diluted...

Description
Summary:Sorghum seedlings were used as bait. P. graminicola was more frequently isolated from seedlings placed in a soil slurry for 24 h than from seedlings grown in infested soils for 7 d. In the 24 h bioassay the frequency of isolation of P. graminicola from infected autoclaved soil and field soil diluted with autoclaved soil was closely related to the level of P. graminicola in the soil.
