Abstract
An agar medium (designated SNAW), developed to improve the recovery of Septoria nodorum from wheat seed, was compared with oxgall agar, the most selective agar medium currently used. Metabolites produced by S. nodorum on oxgall agar fluoresce under near ultraviolet light, but the fungus does not sporulate. Growth of other seedborne fungi is only partially suppressed. On SNAW, S. nodorum fluoresces and sporulates within 7 days. Growth of most other seedborne fungi was reduced by greater than 95%, but Fusarium spp. were reduced only 74% (...)
