Natural Suppression of the Aquatic Weed Salvinia molesta D.S. Mitchell, by Two Previously Unreported Fungal Pathogens
Salvinia molestaD. S. Mitchell (Salviniaceae), variouslycalled giant salvinia, water fern or African payal, is a vegetativelyreproducing, perennial, free-floating, aquatic weed,native to southeastern Brazil (Waterhouse and Norris 1987).It (hereafter called salvinia) is a very serious weed in mostregions outside its native range (Harley and Mitchell 1981)including India. The purpose of this paper is to reporton two fungal pathogens that were found to be the causeof a sudden decline in salvinia in Bangalore.(PDF has 4 pages.)
