ABSTRACT
The "butternut" type pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) is the most marketable vegetable in Argentina. Fusarium spp. exhibiting different pathogenicity, cause various rots during storage. Twenty-two strains of Fusarium spp. were tested to study pectinolytic and cellulolytic enzyme production. The study was conducted to find any correlation between pathogenicity and enzyme activity. The results indicated that all the strains, pathogenic and saprophytic, were able to produce both groups of enzymes, and no correlation was found between pathogenic and enzymatic activity.
