Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Aphanomyces euteiches was the most widespread of the three species, found in 28% of tested samples in Sweden and Denmark.
- Observation Aphanomyces cladogamus was detected only in Sweden, in 16% of tested samples.
- Observation Disease severity index differed significantly between regions, pathogens and region-by-crop combinations.
- Association No Aphanomyces species was detected in soils with Ca above 250 mg/100 g soil.
- Association The authors interpret the absence of Aphanomyces at high soil calcium as a pathogen-suppressive effect of calcium.
- Association DSI values on pea remained very low in commercial pea fields with confirmed A. euteiches and high soil Ca.
- Observation Aphanomyces euteiches infected only pea plants.
- Observation Aphanomyces cochlioides and A. cladogamus infected both sugar beet and spinach.
- Association High soil Ca was a significant predictor of low probability of Aphanomyces presence in soil.
