Abstract

To identify powdery mildew fungi affecting Fabaceae range plants in Lorestan province, 18 specimens of infected plants were collected. Following identification of the host plants, the micrometric character of fungi was recorded and shapes were drawn by drawing tube. At the end, Powdery mildew fungi were identified using identification keys. Four new host records for powdery mildew fungi identified include Erysiphe pisi DC on Onobrychis caputgli, (L.) Lam, Leveillula taurica (Le'v.) Arnaud on Medicago rigidula (L.) ALL. and Medicago orbicularis (L.) Bartalini, and Erysiphe trifoliorum (Wallr.) U.Braun on Trifolium respinatum L. and Onobrychis caputgali (L.) Lam
