In soils of the Salinas watershed Fusarium solani and Fusarium tricinctum were found only in the cultivated soils. Propagules of Fusarium oxysporum were numerous and varied in the cultivated fields but were relatively scarce and existed essentially as a single clone in the noncultivated soils. In the Castroville watershed both F. solani and F. oxysporum were recovered from noncultivated soils fairly frequently.The 'Gibbosum' cultivar of Fusarhim roseum, the most frequently isolated fusarium from field soils, was less common in the noncultivated soils.Other fusaria, such as Fusarium episphaeria and some cultivars of F. roseum, were about as numerous in the noncultivated as in the cultivated soils. The cultivation of these soils markedly affected the makeup of the fusarium populations in them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
