Abstract

Clonostachys rosea is an important biological control agent against various plant pathogenic fungi. We collected — necrotic ponderosa and Coulter pine needles and obtained C. rosea — like fungal colonies. Cultures were identified as C. rosea and their morphological characteristics were described.
