Abstract
The literature review focuses on the effect of forest soil properties on infection of coniferous trees and stumps by Heterobasidion spores and further growth of mycelium from tree to tree. Spread of the fungus is greater in alkaline soil. Forest plantations on former agricultural lands have an in¬ creased risk of infection, due to lack of antagonistic soil microorganisms. In Latvia, severe infec¬ tion of spruce stands by Heterobasidion root rot has been observed on peat soils.
