Management of rhizoctonia root rot locations
Aims

To find more reliable methods to control rhizoctonia.

Key messages
  • Rhizoctonia sererity was low in 1993.
  • Cultivation of dry soil did not reduce the impact of rhizoctonia.
  • Shallow sowing (2.5cm) may predispose plant roots to rhizoctonia.
