Abstract
The nutritional environment of soil perhaps the most important single factor determining the behavior of soil-borne, plant pathogenic fungi. Factors such as temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide, pH, and soil moisture are also of significance, but the presence of available nutrients in soil appears to be the primary factor governing both growth and survival of plant pathogens. Certain kinds of nutrients may favor or be required by the pathogen while others may favor growth of antagonistic microorganisms and result in death of the fungus (antagonism used to include competition, antibiosis and physical destruction (58)).
