Abstract
Growth-room studies were made to determine both, alone and combined, the pathogenicity of the nematode Xiphinemabakeri Williams and the fungus Cylindrocarpondestructans (Zinnsm.) Scholten to Douglas-fir [Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco] seedlings. Inoculations with 20, 40, and 60 X. bakeri nematodes per seedling resulted in nematode population increases and development of typical corky root disease symptoms. Cylindrocarpondestructans was not pathogenic to seedlings; no consistent synergistic effects were detected when inoculations were made with the nematode and fungus together. It was concluded that X. bakeri is the 'primary' pathogen in corky root etiology.
