In 1986, samples from 109 winter wheat crops in England and Wales were examined for benomyl resistance in Fusarium species. Of the 704 isolates obtained, 581 were identified as Fusarium nivale, of which 92-1% were resistant to benomyl. Of the remaining isolates, 82 were identified as F. avenaceum, 40 as F. culmorum and one as F. poae; none of these isolates were resistant to benomyl. The vast majority of isolates of Fusarium spp. were obtained from superficial nodal or internodal lesions on the stems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
