Abstract
MORGAN1 considered that Rhizoctonia solani contributed to the condition known as ‘potato sickness’, where a potato crop was seriously attacked by Heterodera rostochiensis. Miles2 and Goffart3, in their investigations of the potato root eelworm, concluded that the root fungus R. solani did not play a significant part in causing the potato crop to fail. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the interrelationship of nematodes and fungi.
