Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Helminthosporium sativum infection caused severe leaf chlorosis in wheat seedlings.
- Intervention effect Potassium nitrate solution reduced injury relative to water.
- Intervention effect Adding sucrose to nutrient solution increased fungal colonization.
- Observation The fungus spread readily from wheat lesions and other sources into adjacent substrate.
- Observation Soil masses around root lesions did not inhibit fungal spread.
