Abstract
Twelve irrigation canals, sampled repeatedly for one year, all harbored one or more of the species of Phytophthora that cause citrus diseases. The species that were prevalent varied with the seasonal temperature of the water. The fungus was found in only one of the three reservoirs tested.
