Hypovirulent Rhizoctonia spp. isolates from New Zealand soils protect radish seedlings against damping-off caused by R. solani

Details the methodology and results of a study 'undertake to isolate Rhizoctonia spp. from soil samples collected throughout NZ, screen them for pathogenicity on radish [Raphanus sativus cv. Rex] and evaluate the hypovirulent isolates for their ability to protect radish seedlings against damping-off caused by virulent Rhizoctonia solani.'
