“…This content was assumed as a boundary value in forest practice (SIEROTA 1995). This exceeds by 500 times the concentration of spores (5 x 10^) in a lyophihzed 'Pg suspension' (PARKER 1977) and ensures great effectiveness of the inoculation, even in adverse weather conditions. In practice, the efficiency of stump colonization (evaluated through the reisolation of the fungi from roots) varied from 80% to 98%, depending on the quality of the treatment performed by forest workers.…”

Artificial inoculation of stumps with Phlebiopsis gigantea (preparation 'PglBL') against Heterobasidion annosum in Scots pine {Pinus sylvestris) stands on former agricultural lands in Poland is being performed throughout the year. The practical efficiency of the biological control appears to be influenced by the moisture content in stumps and roots. In experiment 1, dry weight loss of wood 3 months and 6 months after P. gigantea inoculation in laboratory was investigated in the stumps after salvage cutting (felling of dead and dying trees) and after thinning (routine cutting of trees) and compared with the decay of the artificially inoculated stumps under field conditions. It was found that 6 months after inoculation the dry weight loss of the samples was about 3%, 17% and 22%, respectively. In experiment 2, the decay of wood from horizontal roots collected after thinning, inoculated with P. gigantea in laboratory, was evaluated. Three months after the inoculation, the loss of dry weight wood was about 22-52%, depending on initial moisture of the roots.

Interaetions between the two most eommon deeay fungi of Populus tremuloides, Peniopbora polygonia and Pbettinus tremutae were studied. Pe. potygonia inhibited the growth of Pb. tremulae when grown in paired eulture. The presenee of a eulture oi fe. polygonia redueed the growth of Ph. tremulae in a volatile metabolite test. A culture filtrate of Pe. polygonia redueed the growth of Pb. tremulae in liquid eulture. The growth of both the fungi was inhibited, and they formed a dark brown line at eontaet point when grown on a Po. tretnutoides bloek.

“…Five litres of suspension will treat at least 100 stumps of 20 cm diameter, and the current cost of treatment, including labour, ranges from 0.6 to 1.2 p per stump. A sequential sampling scheme has been devised to test the viability and wood-decaying ability of the fungus (PARKER 1977).…”

Biological methods can help to control root‐infecting fungi such as Fomes annosus and Armillaria mellea. For example, inoculation of pine stumps with the fungus Peniophora gigantea is widely used against F.annosus in Britain. Experiments arc in progress to determine whether similar methods can be used for stumps of other conifers. The main sources of infection by Armillaria are stumps of broad‐leaved trees, which are often treated chemically to prevent regrowth. Some of these treatments promote colonization by saprophytic fungi that compete well with Armillaria. In experiments, direct inoculation of stumps combined with chemical treatment has given encouraging results.
