Rhizoctonia Associated with Forest Trees

  • Chapter
Book cover Rhizoctonia Species: Taxonomy, Molecular Biology, Ecology, Pathology and Disease Control

Abstract

Many Rhizoctonia species are economically important plant pathogens in agriculture and thus receive considerable attention. However, relatively little is known about these fungi and their effects on trees in forestry production. There are well documented cases of Rhizoctonia-linked diseases of tree seedlings cultivated in forest nurseries although information concerning their interactions with forest trees in natural ecosystems is limited and fragmentary.
