A Microsyringe Method for Determining Concentration of Fungal Propagules. W. H. Ko, Associate Professor, Department of Plant Pathology, University of Hawaii, Beaumont Agricultural Research Center, Hilo 96720; Lynne L. Chase(2), and R. K. Kunimoto(3).

Concentration of zoospores was determined by a microsyringe method without prior termination of spore motility. The method was applicable also to other types of fungal propagules and the population determined with this method had smaller standard deviation than the hemacytometer method.
