ABSTRACT

The species of fungi occurring in stems and leaves of
hot pepper plants cultivated in the field were investigated in 2004 and 2006,
in Zezulin near Lublin. The object of study were three cultivars of hot pepper:
'Rokita', 'Orkan', 'Bronowicka Ostra'. The mycological analyses showed that in
stems and leaves of hot pepper predominated Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum and F.
equiseti. The effect of communities on Alternaria alternata growth
was evaluated with the biotic series method. The communities supported the pathogen’s
growth to various extent. The structural similarity between the fungal communities
investigated was evaluated with SYNTAX 5.01.

Key words: hot pepper, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium equiseti, biotic series method.
