Comparison of methods for detection of Rhizoctonia solani in soil
1981
Doornik, A.W. (Laboratorium voor Bloembollenonderzoek, Lisse (Netherlands))
At a soil temperature that was favourable for the contaminating Rhizoctonia isolate, detection of the pathogen in soil by using Ko agar or fragments of Juncus effusus stems as bait or by plating soil samples in small clumps (Ko and Hora, 1971) gave comparable results. At unfavourable soil temperature the use of Ko agar baits was most successful. Water agar to which 0.5% inulin and a selective solution developed by G.M. Tichelaar (formerly: IPO, Wageningen, personal communication) was added was the best plating medium.
