The vegetative compatibility of four hypovirulent isolates of Cryphonectria parasitica was checked with 35 virulent isolates obtained from chestnut samples collected in many regions of Italy. Artificial inoculation tests confirmed the effectiveness of a mixture prepared with hypovirulent isolates. This was packed in squeezing tubes, to simplify the biological control of chestnut blight in practice.
