The fungi I'm most concerned about is the ones I mentioned.

Phelinus noxious, Ganoderma, Armillaria, Phytophthora & Anthracnose.
Phytophthora is best held at bay with Ausphos600, Trichoderma doesn't have much affect on the others above. The above (other than Anthracnose) are the prime killers here, the Anthracnose I deal with is mainly foliar on stressed mango trees ... not rotting the roots/stem away.

I dont like to use any chemical fungal treatment as a wholesale soil drench and would rather work on getting the soil right like Sean always advocates.
