Abstract
Soil pH can have an influence on the outcome of root diseases caused by soilborne pathogens, but it depends on the pathogen. Cereal growers in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) have been experiencing an increase in soil acidity (lower pH) primarily due to a long history of ammonium fertilizer use. In eastern Washington and northern Idaho, soil acidification tends to be worse in areas that are annually cropped, do not include nitrogen-fixing legumes in the crop rotation, and in areas that were historically forested. Plant disease is the outcome of three interacting components: the pathogen, the plant, and the environment. Soil pH, a component of the environment, influences both the pathogen and the host.
