Exotic invasive plant accumulates native soil pathogens which inhibit native plants
2008-01-01
Abstract excerpt
1. We investigated the role of a native generalist soil pathogen through which a non-native invasive plant species may suppress naturalized/native plant species. 2. We found that rhizosphere soils of Chromolaena odorata, one of the world's most destructive tropical invasive weeds, accumulate high concentrations of the generalist soil borne fungi, Fusarium (tentatively identified as F. semitectum), thus creating a...
