Growth and sporulation of selected isolates of F. graminearum, F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans were examined over 15 days on seven different media of diverse pH levels and under two light conditions. All isolates formed the most densd mycelia and had the fastest growth on PDA media and under dark conditions. F. graminearum had the weakest sporulation on all media. F. verticillioides and F. subglutinans sporulated well on the all investigated media. Statisticaly significant slower mycelial growth was determined on pH 4.5 for all species.
