Abstract:
Microsclerotial populations of Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. were concentrated in the top 30 cm of soil regardless of host crop. In general, microsclerotia were almost non-existent in the 40-100-cm zone. Soil texture, ranging from loamy sand to heavy clay, had no apparent affect on the vertical distribution of microsclerotia. © 1985.
