Abstract
SUMMARY: A method is described for the study of nutrient competition between leaf surface microorganisms and plant pathogenic fungi. Autoradiography was used to investigate the uptake of water‐soluble 14C‐labelled nutrients by applying a dry pre‐formed layer of emulsion to the specimen. The method was adapted for use on both leaf and artificial surfaces. A photometric method was used for rapid examination of autoradiographs.Keywords
