Notes:
In pots containing sand or sand-soil mixtures the commonly used ley grasses Dactylis glomerata, Festuca pratensis, Lolium multiflorum, L. perenne and Phleum pratense were equally effective in decreasing infections of wheat seedlings by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici on wheat seedlings sown after the ley species had been grown. This effect could be attributed only partly to their ability to increase the incidence of the antagonist Phialophora radicicola var. graminicola which was either a natural inhabitant of the soil used, or added as an artificial culture. Other, unidentified, soil factors were equally important. Trifolium repens, and to a lesser degree Medicago sativa, also decreased infections by G. graminis var. tritici but without involvement of P. radicicola var. graminicola.
