Rhynchosporium orthosporum Caldwell 1937

Notes

Latch and Wenham (1959) stated that on the grass Dactylis glomerata leaf blotch caused by Rhynchosporium was not common in the Manawatu area at any time of year. Latch (1966a) noted that on ryegrass in winter pastures it is one of the more important fungus diseases. It is of economic importance, as infected pastures have been shown to be unpalatable to stock (Latch, 1966a).
