Summary

Growth of R. solani in sterilized soil was increased by applications of balanced fertilizer, moderate doses of K and high rates of P. It was decreased by higher applications of N and K. In unsterilized soil growth was poor in all treatments. Fresh weights of lettuce seedlings were increased by moderate applications of balanced fertilizer, but decreased by the higher levels of this and of the individual ingredients. Most disease was found in the balanced and N series. Mycelium grew best and produced most disease in the drier soil; its survival in artificially inoculated soils was little affected by soil fertility.
