Importance
Damage caused by Pythium aphanidermatum is difficult to measure because it has such a wide host range and infection results in a variety of symptoms, all of which are detrimental in different ways. In general, the pathogen is especially important in crops such as corn, cotton, cereal crops, and high value horticultural crops. The pathogen is also economically important in crops that are produced both in greenhouses and by soilless culture. Root infection and seedling damping off are responsible for a decrease in plant health and reduction in yield for economic crops.

“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process.
