Prospects for Management of Natural Suppresiveness to Control Soilborne Pathogens

  • Chapter
Biological Control of Plant Diseases

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 230))

Abstract

Epidemics of soilborne plant diseases are rare in natural vegetations. If they occur, they seem to originate from a man-made disturbance of the natural equilibrium such as in natural Eucalyptus forests in Australia which enhanced Phytophthora dieback (Malajczuk, 1979).
