Abstract
Endophytic fungi from the genus Neotyphodium are able to cause asymptomatic infection in their grass hosts. Grass species that are most often infested by endophytes include meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.), tall fescue (F. arundinacea Schreb.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). The aim of our study was to estimate the endophyte incidence in swards of 31 permanent grasslands in the Mazovia region. The study objects were ecotypes of the following species: F. pratensis, F. arundinacea, F. rubra, F. ovina, F. capillata, Lolium perenne, L. multiflorum, Poa pratensis, P. nemoralis and Deschampsia caespitosa. The presence of Neotyphodium fungi was related in the ecotypes of five grass species: F. pratensis, F. arundinacea, F. rubra, L. perenne and D. caespitosa. The highest frequency of endophyte infection was observed in F. pratensis (62.9%). Moreover, the relationship between a type of site usage (grazing or cutting) and the endophyte occurrence were found.
