Abstract

Determinations carried out for many years on Fusarium snow mold occurring on graminaceous plants in different parts of Finland show that the cause of this disease is Fusarium nivale (Fr.) Ces. In pure cultures made of the fungi isolated from samples of diseased plants, F. nivale was found in 72 samples and F. avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc. in 5 samples.
