Abstract
The objectives of this study were to confirm the selective incidence of speciflc snow mold fungi by controlling other fungi with fungicides in the field and to evaluate genetic resources of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) in terms of resistance to typhula snow mold. Due to its simplicity and reliability, treatment of iminoctadinetriacetate would be useful for selecting varieties for resistance to typhula snow mold in meadow fescue. Some Russian varieties that showed high survival rates in the present study are considered promising as breeding materials for winter hardiness.
