Resting sporangia of the potato wart disease pathogen Synchytrium endobioticum (Schilb.) Perc. which persist in soil can be extracted from soil by a wet‐sieving and chloroform centrifugation method and counted. Soils from the sites of old wart outbreaks have been checked for resting sporangia. Sampling procedures, patterns and errors are being assessed.
