spp. Associated with Root Rot and Stunting of Winter Crops in North Carolina.

Annual double-crop rotation systems that incorporate winter wheat, clary sage, or a cover crop are common in eastern North Carolina. Stunting and root rot of clary sage ( L.) reduce yields of this crop, especially in wet soils.

spp. Associated with Root Rot and Stunting of Winter Wheat in North Carolina.

Causal agents of root rot of wheat in this region were previously identified as , , and . To investigate species prevalence, 114 isolates of were obtained from symptomatic wheat plants collected in eight counties.
