Abstract
Little information is available on Fusarium associations with non-crop hosts in grasslands despite extensive studies on Fusarium species in agricultural systems. The Fusarium species associated with the Australian indigenous grass, Austrostipa aristiglumis, including the key pathogenic species Fusarium pseudograminearum, F. thapsinum and Gibberella zeae, in addition to several saprobic Fusarium species, are reported.
