Summary

The fusarium population in paddy soils of West Malaysia showed considerable variation in size but was generally small. In many soils fusaria were not recovered. Only 3 species ofFusarium, F. oxysporum, F. roseum andF. solani were found. Of these.F. roseum was the most widely distributed species and occurred in highest numbers per g soil, whileF. oxysporum was the most restrictive in distribution and occurred in lowest numbers per g soil.
