A brown leaf and stem spot disease of bayonet-grass (Scirpus maritimus) was epidemic in reclaimed paddy fields of Chunbuk province, Korea. A fungal pathogen was repeatedly isolated from the necrotic lesions of the bayonet-grass and identified as Nimbya scirpicola. The pathogen induced disease symptoms only in bayonet-grass but not in 8 other plants tested; Brassica pathogen induced disease symptoms only in bayonet-grass but not in 8 other plants tested; Brassica compestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis, Cucumis sativus, Glycine max, Hordeum vulgare, Lycopersicon esculentum, Oryza sativa, Sesamum indicum and Triticum aestivum. The fungus has potential to be developed as a mycoherbicide.
