Abstract:
The mycological research works of two groups have shown that pathogenic fungi species, potentially dangerous for plants, from genera Fusarium (4 species), Pythium (5), Verticillium (4) and Thielaviopsis basicola functioned in the rhizosphere of 8% of healthy-looking plants and 76% of sick plants. After a long unfavourable treatment easily adapting plants were injured most slightly and plants of a hard adaptation group were injured most strongly.
Key words:
pathogenic fungi, pot-plants, rhizosphere
