Abstract

Field inoculation of leek with zoospores ofPhytophthora prorri resulted in high infection within a short time. Inoculation with infected leaf tissue resulted in a more gradual increase of disease incidence. Inoculation with oospores was relatively unsuccessful. Zoospores were produced in Petri-dishes by treating fast-growing, young mycelium with a diluted soil extract for at least 2 days, followed by a cold treatment in sterile demineralized water. The successful methods can be used for evaluation of resistance or fungicide performance, and for epidemiological experiments.
