Alternative Strategy: To prevent infection by the root rot fungi Heterobasidion spp., surfaces of freshly cut Picea abies stumps are sprayed with Rotstop biocontrol agent, which constitutes a spore suspension of a single genotype of the competitive fungus Phlebiopsis gigantea. The pathogen, Heterobasidion spp., was the only basidiomycete with a significantly reduced incidence in Rotstop-treated stumps.
