Popis: Isolates ofRhizoctonia solani Kuhn were tested for their pathogenicity to potato sprouts growing from seed tubers. Those originating from sclerotia on tubers showed a wide range of pathogenicity but those from sprout tissue were only moderately pathogenic. Similar results were not obtained with detached potato sprouts, leaflets, or stem tips. Isolates from sclerotia which were very pathogenic to tubers, also caused considerable damage to sprouts, but isolates from potato caused little damage to wheat and barley seedlings compared to that caused by wheat isolates.
