Effect of symptomless fungal infection of maize seed on germination in the presence and absence of Pythium debaryanum - 1983 - Printed

Tables, references p. 148-149

Seed from ears of maize infected by Gibberella zeae and Nigrospora [Khuskia]oryzae frequently failed to show these fungi when germination took place in the absence of P. debaryanum. Diplodia zeae [D. maydis] emerged from symptomless, infected seeds in both the presence and absence of P. debaryanum. Symptomless infection by Fusarium moniliforme [Gibberella fujikuroi] evidently did not reduce germination in the absence of P. but its effect in the presence of P. wasnot tested. Symptomless infection by D. zeae, G. zeae and K. oryzae always reduced the ability of seedlings to resist Pythium.
