This paper deals with the severity of crown rot caused by Fusarium acuminatum, F. avenaceum, F. chlamydosporum, F. crookwellense, F. culmorum, F. equiseti, F. graminearum, F. oxysporum, F. pseudograminearum, F. semitectum, F. solani, F. subglutinans and F. verticilloides isolated from wheat fields in Turkey surveyed for Fusarium head blight in 2003 and crown rot in 2005. In a seedling assay Fusarium species and isolates within a species significantly influenced the level of crown discoloration and biomass of the winter wheat cultivar ‘Pehlivan’. There was no significant difference among the 3 most aggressive species, F. culmorum, F. graminearum and F. pseudograminearum. Where isolates of the same Fusarium species were obtained from head and crown tissue, these did not differ greatly in their aggressiveness on the crown tissue.
