PURPOSE: To control snow mold injury especially of a plant of Gramineae by using a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Fusarium and capable of controlling the growth of pathogen of snow mold, especially preferably a new Fusarium avenaceum M6244, which has potent antagonistic activity against the pathogen of snow mold. CONSTITUTION: This microbial material for controlling snow mold injury contains a filamentous fungus belonging to the genus Fusarium and having antagonistic activity against the pathogen of snow mold. Especially, a new Fusarium avenaceum M6244 (FERIVI P-14117), which has potent antagonistic activity against the pathogen of snow mold is preferable as the filamentous fungus. Snow molds of target plants, especially a plant of Gramineae and lawn, are controlled by using the filamentous fungus. There are various kinds of snow molds such as Typhula incarnata, Typhula ishikariensis, Pythium snow blight, etc., depending on the kind of the pathogens causing the diseases. |
