Ecology of black root rot of cucurbittaceae and white root rot of Japanese pear were studied to elucidate functions for pathogen bank in field margins. After developing real-time PCR protocols to quantify these plant pathogens, relationships between pathogen quantities and microbial community structures of both in-fields and field margins. The research results suggested that pathogens were least proliferate in field margins, mostly remaining inside the fields, and affected only particular groups of microorganisms.
