N2 - A new selective medium for Fusarium species has been developed using Czapek‐Dox agar (CZ) containing the fungicides iprodione (3 mg/1) and dicloran (2 mg/1). This new medium (CZID) is selective against numerous species of Alternaria, Epicoccum, Penicillium and mucoraceous fungi. CZID was compared with CZ using samples of barley, malt, sorghum, bean and pea. Fusarium species produced large and easily recognizable colonies on CZID while isolates of Alternaria, Epicoccum and Rhizopus were significantly restricted on CZID compared with their growth on CZ. The use of CZID thus facilitates the isolation and subculturing of Fusarium species.
