Abstract

The pathogenicity and vegetative compatibility of mainly Dutch isolates ofFusarium oxysporum collected from diseased gladioli and other Iridaceae were investigated. Based on their pathogenicity to two differential gladiolus cultivars, the isolates could tentatively be divided into two races. All self-compatible isolates ofFusarium oxysporum f.sp.gladioli belonged to one of three distinct vegetative compatibility groups, VCG 0340, 0341 or 0342, and were incompatible with isolates that were not pathogenic to gladiolus. Isolates of one of the two races were restricted to one VCG while isolates of the other race were present in all three VCGs.
