Abstract
- SUMMARY Using the ‘Cambridge method’, the effect of temperature on the colonization of wheat straw by Fusarium culmorum, Gibberella zeae, Cochliobolus sativus and C. spicifer was studied. Within the range 10–30 °C, saprophytic colonization by the four fungi was favoured by lower temperatures. This could not be attributed to the effect of temperature on the growth of the fungi in pure culture, but was probably caused by increased antagonism at higher temperatures from the general soil microflora. Contrary to previous indications, C. sativus strongly colonized straw under suitable environmental conditions.
