Abstract
The saprophytic activity of R. solani and R. bataticola, the organisms associated with the Coconut Root (wilt) disease was investigated in relation to soil moisture. Both the organisms made nur mycelial spread in natural soil. In autoclaved soil the test fungi grew well under a wide range, of soil moisture. Evaluation of the soil microflora and the microbiologica activity in the soil under different moisture conditions revealed that the activity of the test fungi is correlated with the microbial status of the soil which is directly influenced by the moisture content of the soil.
