| Abstract | ||
| Eighty soil samples are collected from cultivated soil in different locations in Basrah. A total of 78 isolates were detected and idintified belonging to F.chlamydosporum ,F.equiseti,F.graminearum,F.moniliforme,F.oxysporum ,F.poae,F.semitectum ,F.sacchari and F.solani . The pathogenicity of all Fusarium isolates was evaluated towrds larvae Galleria mellonella .The mortality percentage of larvae due to infection Fusarium isolates ranged from 13-76.6%.F.oxysporum3, F.oxysporum21,F.solani 12and F.solani16 were resulted in the highest Galleria mortality 76.6% in the pathogenicity test.The results indicated that the pathogenicity of Fusarium isolates against Galleria larvae was significantly varied.
