Recent research shows that continuous overgrazing not only causes grassland biodiversity to decline, but also causes light fungal disease.  Achnatherum inebrians  is susceptible to fungal diseases and increases in prevalence during over grazing due its toxicity to livestock. This study aimed to examine the effects of  A. inebrians  on biological control organisms and levels of plant diseases in overgrazed grasslands in northwestern China. The results showed that  A. inebrians  plants were seriously infected by fungal diseases and that this led to a high incidence of the mycoparasitic species  Ampelomyces quisqualis  and  Sphaerellopsis filum . In addition, the fungivore, Aleocharinae, was found only in the soil growing  A. inebrians  rather than in the overgrazed area without  A. inebrians . Overall, in an overgrazed grassland fenced for one year, disease levels in blocks without  A. inebrians  were significantly higher than those in blocks with  A. inebrians . Our findings indicated that the disease susceptible, toxic  A. inebrians  can help control plant disease levels in overgrazed grasslands.
