Abstract:

In the course of a survey during growing seasons of 2002-04, various fields and pastures in 23 Iranian provinces were sampled. Some 1200 isolates of Fusarium from root, crown, stem and spike of various plants belonging to the family Poaceae were recovered using Nash-Snyder selective medium and purified on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Based on morphological characters, 35 Fusarium species were identified using PDA, SNA, KCl+WA and CLA media. Sporulation was encouraged using near UV light and darkness of 12h at 22-25˚ C.
