The complexity of the interrelations of the varying environmental factors which may affect the host, the pathogen and consequently the host‐pathogen inter‐ action is stressed. The effect of climatic conditions, soil properties, soil biota and human influences is indicated. Two aspects of the ecology of soil‐borne pathogens, viz. dispersal and survival are discussed.
