During a four year period (1996-1999) plant material was collected from nine sites in the eastern part of Croatia in order to isolate Fusarium spp.: weeds from the Malvaceae, Amaranthaceae, Asteraceae, Brasicaceae, Polygonaceae, Poaceae, Urticaceae and Lamiaceae families, from grains of wheat, barley, maize and soybean grains as well as wheat and maize residues. Despite the fact that there were no signs of disease on 319 inspected plants, seven Fusarium species were isolated. Among them Fusarium graminearum was the most dominant (isolated on 5 weeds). The principal presence of this species was established on wheat (53.26%) and maize (29.37%) residues, followed by F. moniliforme, F. subglutinans, and F. sporotrichioides. Predominant presence of F. graminearum was established on the wheat (51.08%) and barley grain (71.36%), F. moniliforme on maize (46.02%) and 6F. oxysporum on soybean grain (83.93%). Pathogenicity test showed that the most pathogen for wheat seedlings were isolates of F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. sporotrichioides, whereas the least pathogen species was F. poae.
