| Abstract: | A survey was conducted in three localities of Trivandrum district, viz. College of Agriculture,Vellayanl, Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute, Palode and Post-Graduate-cum-Research Centre in Ayurveda, Pooja- ppura, to study the fungal diseases of ten important medicinal plants. Colletotrichum qloeosporioides. C. capsici. Curvularia clavata, Curvularia lunata.Botrvodiplodia theobromae. Fusarium moniliforme var. intermedium. Uromvces sparqanii ssp. asiaticus and Puceinia sp. were found infecting the plants. The above fungi, except Uromvces sparqanii ssp. asiaticus and Puceinia sp. were isolated in pure culture and pathogenicity to their respective host plant established by artificial inoculation. The effect of five artificial culture media on the growth and sporulation of the pathogens was studied. Czapek’s-Dox agar and Richard’s agar were found to be favouring good growth and sporulation of all the fungi. |
