Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine rates of spread of seed infestation by endophytic fungi in Festuca pratensis L. cv. Justa and Lolium perenne L. cv. Vigor in three successive years of plantation utilization. The seeds used for sowing were infected by endophytes in about 90%. To detect Neotyphodium mycelium under the microscope, the seeds were stained with aniline blue. In the first-year harvest, the seeds were found to be infested in 75–80%. In the subsequent years, the proportions of infested seeds increased up to 93% in F. pratensis cv. Justa and L. perenne cv. Vigor alike.
