Abstract
Symptoms of leaf sheath, glume, and grain spot were observed during field surveys in commercial barley Hordeum distichum L. in Buenos Aires province. Fusarium poae was associated with these symptoms. Pathogenicity tests carried-out with the fungus, under greenhouse conditions at boot and anthesis stages, produced similar necrotic spots. Field test of 28 barley genotypes indicated significative differences in the responses to the pathogen according to the number of spotted grains. The incidence of F. poae in seed samples since 1990 varied between 0 to 7% with 19 to 86% of prevalence.
