Abstract
The host range of the leaf fungus Ramularia rubella (Bon.) Nannf. is restricted to the subgenus Rumex, to which the most noxious weeds of the genus belong: R. crispus and R. obtusifolius. Repeated infections of R. obtusifolius L. with this pathogen stopped the growth of the weed in the greenhouse. Leaf number decreased and the dry matter of the roots was distinctly reduced: after 6 weeks it amounted to 59%, and after 11 weeks to 53% of that of non-inoculated control plants
