| Popis: | Soils collected from five districts of Hawaii county were infested with Rhtzoctonia solani in small inoculum particles and successfully planted with radish to induce suppression, Suppressiveness was induced in some, but not all, replicates of all. soils. When fresh inoculum was added, suppressiveness was demonstrated in some, but not all, replicates of two soils, but not in the other three soils. Acidity of soil was not important in successful induction of suppression. Characteristics of induced suppression in soil from one site (S. Kohala) were further investigated. Reduction of microbial population by heat treatment of suppressive soil completely nullified its inhibitory effect. The populations of actinomycetes, fungi in general and Trichoderma spp. in suppressive and conducive soil were not significantly different. However, the population of bacteria in suppressive soil was almost four times higher than that in conducive soil. The survival time of R. solani in suppressive soil was shorter than that in conducive soil. Hyphae of R. solani also lysed faster in suppressive soil than in conducive soil. It is suggested that suppressiveness of the South Kohala soil created by monoculture is due to enhanced competitive pressure generated by an increased bacterial population, which in turn causes the rapid autolysis of R. solani hyphae. |
