Abstract

The phalaris cultivars Australian and Sirosa, artificially inoculated under glasshouse conditions, were found to be susceptible to infection by Stagonospora foliicola Diseased plants had significantly higher numbers of dead leaves than healthy plants. However, dry matter yields of tops and roots, and average leaf and tiller numbers of diseased and healthy plants were not significantly different.
