Rhizoctonia Root Rot
Rhizoctonia root rot is one of the most important diseases delaying adoption of biologically and economically sustainable conservation tillage systems in the Pacific Northwest. Emphasis has been placed on developing management practices that minimize economic risk from this disease. Such practices include seed treatment, fertilizer placement, timing of planting, resistant varieties, weed management during non-crop periods, selection of the style of seed drill, and others. Collaborators include scientists in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Representative papers include the following.
