Fusarium redolens attacking Tulips.

- Abstract
The article discusses the infection of Fusarium redolens on tulips. Tulip plants obtained from forcing houses in Broxburn and Hawick in Scotland during 1964 showed yellow orange leaf coloration and a soft rot of the bulbs. Flower buds were shriveled and blindness occurred in plants of several hundred boxes of the cultivars. Diseased bulbs showed poor root formation accompanied by browning and death of young roots. The basal plates were necrotic and the inner fleshy scales showed complete tissue breakdown which extended to the bases of the young flower stalks in a few cases, whilst the outer tissues remained healthy and the bulbs appeared superficially sound. The symptoms were very similar to those of "shanking" disease of tulips caused by Phytophthora erythroseptica Pethybr. and P. cryptogea Pethybr. and Laff.
