Abstract
SYNOPSIS Immersion of roots of Pinus radiata D. Don seedlings in water at 48 and 50° C for five, 10 and 15 minutes eradicated Phytophthora but caused a significant decrease in biomass production two years after field planting. Wheat grains infected with Phytophthora cinnamomi were immersed in water at temperatures from 38 to 50° C at 1°C intervals for periods from one to 30 minutes. The temperature/time relationship was negatively linear, requiring 25 minutes at 41°C and 5 minutes at 45°C for the complete elimination of the fungus. The roots of Phytophthora-infected Pinus radiata seedlings were treated with the minimum time/temperature combinations which eradicated the fungus from wheat grains. Root growth capacity (RGC) and mycorrhizal initiation of seedlings treated at 41°C for 25 minutes did not differ significantly from the control, but the higher temperature treatments reduced it significantly. Phytophthora was completely eliminated at 41°C for 25 minutes.
