Curvularia eragrostidis (weed pathogen) (Henn.) J.A. Mey. 1959

This fungus infects grasses and other plants, causing blights and leaf spot diseases. Some strains have been studied as possible mycoherbicides against grass weeds like large crabgrass (e.g. see Zhu and Qiang, 2004).

For information on strains pathogenic to crops see Curvularia eragrostidis (on crops).
