ROOT disease in coniferous trees, other than those which are small seedlings, has mainly been associated with the fungi Armillaria mellea (Fr.) Quel. and Fomes annosus (Fr.) Cooke. Field observations over many years have led one to believe that frequently some of the more important factors which predispose to infection and indeed are themselves often important causes of disease are to be found in adverse physical conditions which arise in the soil.
