Pythium root and stem rots cause problems in production of greenhouse and nursery crops. Composts, however, can provide biological control of these diseases. We planted and germinated cucumber (Cucumis sativus 'Straight Eight') seeds in compost-amended (spruce or pine bark composts) or in highly decomposed sphagnum peat (H4 on the von Post decomposition scale) mixes suppressive and conducive to Pythium root rot, r...
