Abstract

A microplot experiment was made to test the effect of a predacious fungus (Dactylaria thaumasia Drechsler) and three types of organic matter (leaf mould, compost and chopped cabbage) upon potato root eelworm (Heterodera rostochiensis Woll.). The initial population of the eelworm was low and the treatments were without effect upon the yield of potatoes or upon the final cyst and egg populations.
