A crown rot of strawberry caused by Phytophthora parasitica

Phytophthora parasitica was isolated from an unusual type of crown rot. Plants successfully inoculated showed a brown rot of the crown and a red-brown cortical rot of roots near the crown. Inoculation of green fruit produced a firm brown rot not seen in the field. The low incidence of the disease suggests that rotation will provide adequate control.
