The biodiversity of fungi parasitizing weeds in Lithuania
Audrius Kačergius

Species composition of fungi parasitizing weeds in Lithuania was ascertained with a particular reference to biocontrol. The disease distribution and severity were evaluated. Over the years of investigations (1995–2002), 34 fungal species were identified on 17 weed species. The most widespread in Lithuania were Septoria polygonorum, Monodidymaria chenopodii, Ramularia inaequale, R. cynarea, Puccinia taraxaci, and P. punctiformis. Leaf-spotting disease agents – Septoria convolvuli, S. polygonorum, Monodidymaria chenopodii, Ramularia inaequale and rusts – Puccinia punctiformi, P. absinthii showed high aggressiveness to host (the area of affected leaves reached 75–90%). Some strains of pathogenic fungi were isolated into pure culture for the experiments on biological peculiarities and effect on host fitness. This is the first step of a detailed investigation on mycobiota of weeds in Lithuania.
