Analysis of pathogenic activity of different species of Fusarium spp. was carried out. Adhesive properties of standard and clinical strains of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani were tested with the previously developed model based on nitrate cellulose film with immobilized hemoglobin. The growth activity of 5 strains was determined using various media. It was shown that microconidia demonstrated adhesive activity. All Fusarium species actively formed growth tubes on the nitrate cellulose film with immobilized hemoglobin. The obtained results make it possible to assume participation of Fusarium spp. in the disease pathogenesis.

Key words: Fusarium spp., micromycetes, pathogenity, adhesion, microconidia.
