A test system to quantify inoculum in runoff from Phytophthora ramorum-infected plant roots

Abstract

Foliar hosts of Phytophthora ramorum are often susceptible to root infection, but the epidemiological significance of such infections is unknown. We used a standardized test system to study inoculum in runoff from root-infected Viburnum tinus cuttings.
