Effect of fungal, oomycete and nematode interactions on apple root development in replant soil by Emma L. Tilston, Gregory Deakin, Julie Bennett, Thomas Passey, Nicola Harrison, Felicidad Fernández, Xiangming Xu

“…Abstract Background Apple replant disease (ARD) is a phenomenon associated with poor tree establishment at sites where the same, or a closely-related species, has grown for at least 1–2 years. No single organism has been identified as the universal causal agent, but there is increasing evidence that multiple soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes form an ARD disease complex. …”
