In an experiment involving the use of lime, manure, and commercial 
fertilizer on different plots of a field in which Ophiobolus had previously- 
been discovered, found attacking a large area of growing wheat, it was 
found that commercial fertilizer almost completely eliminated the disease, 
manure decreased the percentage to a considerable degree, and lime 
increased the incidence of infection.
