OF INTERNAL FUNGI ISOLATED FROM PUCCINELLIA DISTANS AND THEIR SALT TOLERANCE

letotrichum capsici, causing anthracnose in grass, has higher salt tolerance than the anamorph of E. typhina. Biotic series tests showed that the anamorph suppressed Colletotrichum capsici growth. The size of the inhibition zone between these fungi in vitro suggests that the E. typhina anamorph can successfully suppress C. capsici infection and growth inside the grass sheaths. Suppression was correlated with the salinity level
