| Abstract: | Verticillium biguttatum was isolated from sclerotia of Rhizoctonia solani removed from black scurf-infected potato tubers which had been field-grown in the UK. Two isolates were identified by means of morphological and physiological characteristics, together with their ability to overgrow cultures of R. solani. A Dutch isolate M73 was used for comparison. |
