Difficulty is 'sometimes experienced in distinguishing between O. graminis and sterile fungi which form "Ophiobolus-like" runner hyphae on cereal roots. However, it is possible that nuclear distribution in mycelium may prove a differential character as different distributions have already been reported for O. graminis (Chambers and Flentje 1967) and a cereal root-attacking strain of Rhizoctonia solani (Flentje, Stretton, and Hawn 1963). This paper, therefore, describes comparisons of nuclear distribution in O. graminis and several other cereal root pathogens including a sterile fungus which formed Ophiobolus-like runner hyphae.

Field trials in a sandy mallee soil in Victoria have shown that large increases (up to 323%) in grain yield are obtained by soil fumigation or the application of nematicides. Development of the plants was enhanced by control of soil-borne root pathogens. The occurrence of both cereal cyst nematode (H. avenae) and Rhizoctonia solani in patches of poor wheat in a field trial in South Australia indicate a possible association between these two pathogens. Glasshouse studies showed that the effects of H. avenae and R. solani on wheat were greater when both pathogens were together than with each individually.

The saprophytic survival of Ophiobolus graminis was studied under laboratory and field conditions using artificially-infected wheat-straw buried in a Victorian Mallee soil.In pot tests, survival was prolonged by applications of ammonium sulphate, unaffected by superphosphate dressings and reduced by growing oats over infected straw. The observed effect if the nitrogenous soil amendment was not dependent upon the presence of Rhizoctonia solani as reported for South African soils.In a field experiment, survival was reduced significantly more by growing various plant species over infected straws than by maintaining fallow conditions. O graminis was isolated from all species, including dicotyledons, sown over infected straw
