Abstract:

Morphological and cultural variability of S. rolfsii infecting tomato were studied on different solid and liquid media based on radial growth, topography, sclerotial number, diameter of sclerotia, test weight of sclerotial bodies and dry mycelial weight. Significant variability with reference to mycelial and sclerotial characters was observed on different media. This investigation revealed that the maximum mycelial growth was observed in Potato Dextrose Agar (9 cm) and more test weight (262 mg) of sclerotial bodies was recorded in Sabouraud’s dextrose agar. Cultural studies showed the maximum dry mycelial weight of fungus in potato dextrose broth (750 mg) followed by oat meal broth (663 mg).


Keywords: Sclerotium rolfsii,Foot rot,Morphological variability,Cultural variability.
