Response of 19
wheat varieties cultivated in Hungary varied within large limits to soil borne Rhizoctonia infection. The most frequent symptom, usually leading to damping off was the root
neck necrosis. Four significant factors influencing the susceptibility of wheat
comprised 71% of total variation but none of them was dominant. The inhibition
of development of survivors in Rhizoctonia infested soil correlated with overall susceptibility of
variety concerned. The varieties Emese, Kikelet and Palot¨˘s are proved to be
less susceptible, but none of the varieties could be certified as tolerant. No
relationships were revealed between pathogenicity of 26 Rhizoctonia strains studied and their taxonomic position or origin.
The anamorph strains of Athelia, Ceratobasidium, Ceratorhiza and Waitea similar to Thanatephorus
