The composition of fugal species parasiting weeds in Serbia was studied in the period 1985-2006, with special reference to the possibility of their use in biological control. A total of 96 species of fungi from 36 genera on 46 weed species. During the vegetation season on weeds with symptoms of downy mildew, rust, smut, leaf spotting, withering and powdery 60 species of pathogenic fungi from 15 genera were identified. Fungal species from genera Puccinia, Uromyces, Melampsora, Aleternaria, Fusarium, and Sclerotium showed the high level of pathogenicity to the host. Ophiobolus sp. and Gnomonia tetraspora from perennial weeds Centaurea solstitialis and Euphorbia cyparissias were isolated early in the spring. Artificial inoculations confirmed that they are very destructive to the host.
