Winter fungi

Samples were taken three times throughout the year (summer, winter, and spring, 1973-1974), and microbial species present (bacteria, actlnomycetes and fungi) were determined. Bacterial counts were higher for soils with greater moisture content, but the herbicide, in any concentration, had no significant effect on the microflora. 

TeuosporE One of the thick walled chlamydospores or winter spores, developed in the life cycle in rust fungi. 

Enemies which are frequently mentioned are fungi, chalcid wasps and nematodes, which attack and parasitize the beetles in their winter hiding-places. 

Stems blacken at base leaves wilt plant falls over. Cause Crown or root rots. Both fungi and bacteria cause crown and root rot of delphiniums. Plants may wilt suddenly or yellow and wilt slowly. Stems and roots may turn black mold may appear. Poorly drained, overly wet soil promotes rot choose well-drained sites and add organic matter to improve drainage. Avoid injury to crowns when digging near plants keep winter mulch away from crowns. Remove and destroy infected plants wash tools used around diseased plants. Solarize the soil before replanting. 

Fungi also form spores, which are tiny, seedlike structures ranging from 1 micron (0.001 millimeter) to 1 millimeter in size. Spores are more tolerant of unfavorable conditions, such as winter cold or summer heat, than actively growing hyphae, so spores are the overwintering form of most fungi. 

Other lignin applications of NIR included research on flax fiber [148], compost prepared from wheat straw and chicken litter [149], hard red winter and spring wheat [150], and degradation of plant cell walls by white-rot fungi [151].

Even at small concentrations fenarimol has a protective, curative and eradicant effect against powdery mildew fungi of apple trees, vine, Cucurbitae and roses. It gives also efficient protection against Typhula incarnata fungi causing snow mould in winter barley (Ebenebe and Fehrmann, 1976). 

D-mannitol is widely distributed in plant families from photosynthetic bacteria to fungi, brown and green algae, mono- and dicotyledons, as well as animals [42-45]. It is the most abundant hexitol and concentrations of more than 1% dry weight are commonly found often much higher. In seaweeds it accumulates in the summer, whereas in many cases in higher plants the levels are higher in winter. It serves as a reserve carbohydrate,...
