[QUOTE="Douglas, post: 871029, member: 8840"] I think the confusion comes from the notion of the problem being a fungus. We think about them as spreading and infecting other plants like the common cold. The fescue funcus is only in the seeds and never leaves the seeds. A new stand of fescue can get k31 infected seeds from elsewhere. Those new seeds if they germinate can have the fungus but they will not infect neighboring plants. Then if these new infected seeds out compete the neighboring plants and continue to go to seed eventually the old k31 can take over, when the old fescue lives and the new fescue dies of natural causes. It is not really the infection spreading but the old k31 seeds spreading. [/QUOTE]
