Fuchika, Balashikha, Moscow Province, 143900 Russia A b s t r a c t Snow mold is caused by pathogenic low-temperature fungi and fungi-like pathogens which can attack grassy winter and perennial plants and even woody plants. <...> Recent advances in agrochemical, chemical, biological and breeding technologies used to provide snow mold control are under consideration in detail, particularly data obtained in North America (USA, Canada), North Europe (Sweden, Norway, Finland), Asia (Japan) with special attention to the investigations in Russia. <...> Crop rotation using crops being not the host plants of these pathogens and thus resistant to them is considered as rather effective agrotechnology decreasing plant damage from snow molds, and also deep tillage, early or late sowing, show thawing by its covering with black materials, monthly use of some composts are also discussed. <...> Seed sterilization against the Baytan, Benlat, Granoza and Pentiuram are used on winter crops against (syn. ). <...> For the purposes, the antagonistic agents effective in summer when snow molds are dormant, as well as low temperature agents active in the period of snow mold development can be used. <...> No special breeding for plant resistance to snow molds was carried out in Russia until recent time, nevertheless, in numerous investigations some grain crop species resistant to snow mold have been revealed. <...> Keywords: low temperature fungi, snow molds, anti-snow mold agrotechnologies, chemical fungicides, biomethod, breeding for plant resistance to snow molds. <...> Show mold pathogens can attack not only grassy winter and perennial plants, but also woody plants, such as first-year pine seedlings [5] or the lower parts of tree branches under snow [6]. infection is widely used in North Europe. <...> In the Soviet Union and Russia, only the disease caused by the fungus (Fr.) Ces. was called «snow mold» [13]. <...> There are many names of the snow mold in the world scientific literature: pink snow mold caused by the fungus (Fr.) Samuels & Hallett [syn. mold, caused by (Fr.) Ces.] [14-16]; gray snow snow <...>
