Abstract
During recent years strawberry growers in widespread areas have been concerned with losses attributed to a root disease commonly termed "Black Root Rot of Strawberries". This malady is especially severe in Utah. Richards and McKay (18)1 report that losses are such as to render commercial strawberry growing unprofitable in certain areas. These investigators found, in isolation studies of diseased strawberry roots, that the disease is evidently not due to the attack of a single pathogene, but that several fungi, each apparently capable in itself of producing infection, may act collectively in producing a "disease complex".
