Chemical and Biological Control of Cylindrocladium Root Rot in Conifer Nurseries

In the long-term management of tree nurseries , the view expressed by Emeritus Professor S. A, Wilde is correct. This view holds that drastic chemical treatments of soils for pest control are certain to affect adversely the soil ecosystem. Nonspecific soil treatments applied to control a relatively small number of pathogenic fungi certainly destroy a much larger number of beneficial soil microorganisms. Still, in the short term, drastic soil treatments may be necessary to maintain the continuity of nursery production.
