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 T2 - Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science ER -
