Description
Infection of tall fescue (F. arundinacea Schreb.) plants by the endophytic fungus A. coenophialum Morgan-Jones & Garns is associated with substantial economic reduction in grazing animal performance (Bacon and Siegel, 1988 ; Bush and Burrus, 1988 ; Stuedemann and Hoveland, 1988). This problem is serious in the transition zone of the eastern U.S.A., affecting over 12 million ha of pasture land.
