Abstract
As a rule, dispersion of the Curvularia and Helminthosporia, two related groups of fungi, is accomplished principally by means of conidia, although ascospores have been shown to be important for the dissemination of a few species, such as Drechslera bromi (Died.) Shoem.1. The manner in which the conidia spread is of interest in the examination of epidemiology of plant diseases.
