In laboratory experiments, roots of oats (Avena sativa) and the grass Arrhenatherum elatius caused attraction and subsequent lysis of zoospores of Allomyces arbuscula, Aphanomyces sp., Phytophthora cinnamomi, Pythium aphanidermatum, P. arrhenomanes, P. graminicola, P. intermedium, P. ultimum var. sporangiferum and Saprolegnia litoralis. The lytic compound, thought to be the saponin avenacin, was related from apparently undamaged oat roots. It prevented cysts wall formation by zoospores, but it was only weakly active or inactive against pre-encysted zoospores and vegetative mycelia of Pythium spp. Its effects on zoospores were paralleld by the saponin .beta.-aescin. In preliminary tests, these compounds retained activity after passage through, or incubation in, soil.
