A Preliminary Report on a Method of Biological Control of the Chestnut Blight Not Involving the Use of a Hypovirulent Strain of Endothia parasitica
A method of eradicating active cankers of Endothia parasitica from specimen trees of Castanea dentata by the application of soil compresses is described. Evidence is presented that an interaction between an isolated but unidentified soil fungus and E. parasitica is responsible for remission of cankers following an application of a soil compress to the infected area.
