SUMMARY By forced aeration, acid soils can be rendered quite as favourable for the growth, of Ophiobolus graminis along the roots of wheat seedlings as alkaline soils. This finding is in agreement with the hypothesis that growth of the fungus along the wheat roots in acid soils is retarded by the accumulation of respiratory carbon dioxide.
