Description

Preliminary experiments for biological control of snow mold were made because the disease is the most serious problem in growing forage crops in snowy areas. Several low temperature saprophytes were collected to examine their antagonistic ability against snow mold pathogens. They were antagonistic in culture but generally failed to suppress the disease. However, there was a promising saprophyte. A prospect of biological control is discussed.
