The identification of Common Root Rot as a potentially serious disease is relatively recent, and these projects investigated its significance. The epidemiology of the causal fungus was also studied in order to ascertain the relationship between inoculum levels, root infection, and growth and yield reductions. Management strategies which reduce the likelihood of disease losses, and which maximise the possibility of agronomic compensation were investigated. This included work on tillage, rotation and fac
