Abstract
Unintentionally, man has long been an active participant in the introduction of organisms from one soil to another. In addition to natural forces - including wind, water flow and animal movement - the participation by farmers and horticulturists in accidental movement of soil, harbouring its biota, from one field to another, has long been recognized by pathologists as a major mechanism by which plant diseases are spread. Use of soil-contaminated field equipment and the shipment of diseased plant materials carrying the infective organisms account for most of these accidental introductions.
