Notes

Passalora graminis is common throughout New Zealand, associated with a leaf streak leison on grasses. It is especially common in cocksfoot. Latch and Wenham (1958) stated that, although present throughout the year, it is most common in mid autumn until late spring. It is never sufficiently serious to warrant the use of control measures.
