Abstract
The presence of the pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani in potato fields and the expression of damage to plants is often irregular and patchy.
It was observed on different soil types that in certain areas a seriously damaged potato crop was sometimes followed by a crop that was free of damage. This phenomenon was studied in an experimental field where the damage disappeared in only part of the field. The results appear to be exceptional: R. solani had not disappeared from the area that was free of damage and Verticillivm biguttatum, a specific mycoparasite of R. solani, commonly occurring in agricultural soil, apparently had not played any role.
