The occurrence and importance of Armillaria root rot in plantations is discussed. It is concluded that this fungus may become of greater economic importance in Ontario as reforestation makes increasing use of cut-over land. Experiments have been established to investigate the possibilities of control through girdling of trees in preparation of the planting site, as suggested by the findings of Leach (1937). It is recommended that practicing foresters follow the development of Armillaria root rot in areas where silviculture is practiced. Information collected in this way may be of use in the evaluation of the biological impact of silvicultural practices as well as in the development of Armillaria root rot control methods.
