then decompose the root wood as substrate. Such destruction to the root system over time reduces yield and diminishes growth capacity ( Baumgartner, 2004 ), eventually killing infected trees. Management of Armillaria root disease focuses mainly on

microbial activity exclusive of the potting mix used in the greenhouse studies. Because the potting mix is composed of 100% organic material, it is subject to microbial decomposition and the release of CO 2 after watering. The soil control [low in organic C

after repeated cropping was the result of the autotoxicity of compounds released into the soil in root exudates and by decomposing root tissues ( Yu, 2001 ; Yu et al., 2000 ). The allelopathic potential of watermelon plants was attributed to phenolic
