The effect of UV radiation on the germination of conidia and the growth of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei on barley was studied. UV radiation affected fungal vitality and reproduction capacity depending on the development stage. The most sensitive phase to radiation was identified, showing significant physiological impact during the asexual cycle of this common parasite.
