We investigated the effects of soil solarization, alone or with subsequent amendment with a &lt;em&gt;Trichoderma asperellum&lt;/em&gt; biocontrol agent, on the survival of &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. inoculum. In field trials conducted with &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora ramorum&lt;/em&gt; in San Rafael, CA and with &lt;em&gt;P. pini&lt;/em&gt; in Corvallis, OR, infested rhododendron leaf inoculum was buried at 5, 15, and 30 cm below the soil surface. Solarization for 2 or 4 weeks during summer 2012 eliminated recovery of &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. buried at all depths in California trial 1, at 5 and 15 cm in California trial 2, but only at 5 cm in Oregon. There was no significant reduction of &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. recovery after &lt;em&gt;T. asperellum&lt;/em&gt; application. Although the population densities of the introduced &lt;em&gt;T. asperellum&lt;/em&gt; at the 5-cm depth were often two- to fourfold higher in solarized compared with nonsolarized plots, they were not significantly different (&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt; = 0.052). Soil solarization appears to be a promising technique for disinfesting the upper layer of soil in container nurseries under certain conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
