Fedor Bucholtz

Baltic german botanist (1872-1924).

Fedor (Feodor) Vladimirovich Bucholtz (29 October 1872 – 30 April 1924) was a mycologist and phytopathologist who taught at the Riga Polytechnic Institute and later worked as an invited professor at the University of Tartu. He published on plant-pathogenic fungi (including rusts) and on hypogeous fungi, and in Tartu he established a phytopathological unit described in the literature as the university's Phytopathological Cabinet and/or the Phytopathological Experimental Station (founded 1922). Some sources give his birth date as 28 October 1872 rather than 29 October 1872.
