Fusarium avenaceum (Fr.) Sacc. 1886

Blair and Morrison (1949) isolated Fusarium avenaceum in Canterbury from unthrifty seedling wheat plants and from mature plants with brown foot rot. Wratt (1956) reported its occurence associated with a pre-emergence rot of oat seedlings. Gordon (1960) listed it from New Zealand associated with Gramineae. It is extremely common in ryegrass pastures after a dry summer. Dingley (1960b) recorded it from basal stem cankers on wilted stock plants. It has also been found in association with a dry storage rot of sweet potato tubers. It is only of minor economic importance.
