Abstract
Ten fodder grass mixtures, available on the domestic market, were tested for the incidence of endophytic fungi using the immunoblot method. All the mixtures were found to be colonized by endophytes, irrespective of the grass species composition and the mixtures usage (pasture or meadow). The occurrence of endophytes was highest in perennial ryegrass, red fescue and smooth-stalked meadowgrass. It may be conclude from the results obtained that using seed material of undetermined level of endophyte colonization on newly sown or regenerated meadows and/or pastures can result in causing the unintended endophyte contamination of previously endophyte-free areas. The presence of endophytic fungi in permanent grasslands can be a great threat for domestic animals.
