Population Variations of Cylindrocarpon destructans Causing Root Rot of Ginseng and Soil Microbes in the Soil with Various Moisture Contents

Influence of the moisture content in soils was examined on population variations of soil microbes, including Cylindrocarpon destructans causing root rot of ginseng, in vivo and under the field condition. Fungal populations decreased in soils treated with various moisture contents in vivo as days after the treatment in creased, but there was not a significant difference in the population among other treatments except 135% moisture content (flooding) at 15 weeks after the treatment. In flooded soils populations of total fungi and C. destructans were reduced to 1/10 and 1/50 of initial populations, respectively. There was, however, a little difference in the population of total bacteria or Actinomycetes between before and at 15 weeks after flooding. On the other hand, population variations of bacteria and Actinomycetes were much greater than those of fungi at different intervals after the moisture treatment. Variations of microbial populations in flooded soils under the field condition were similar to those in vivo. Especially, populations of Fusarium and pectolytic bacteria in flooded soils were reduced to 1/100 of populations in nonflooded soils at 170 days after treatment.
