Abstract
The host range of Helicobasidium purpureum was studied in a glasshouse experiment. Seventeen species, in eight families, developed infection cushions of violet root rot. Over 10 weeks, no greater losses in viability of sclerotia were associated with susceptible roots than with resistant ones. In a study on the effect of root systems on germination of sclerotia, Lotus comiculatus , a resistant species, induced a significant increase in germination in 10 weeks. Trifolium pratense , a susceptible species, significantly reduced the percentage of germination, compared with a control series in fallow soil.
