Abstract:
Eleven ‘light type’ isolates of colletotrichum falcatum went from four common sugarcane varieties cultivated at different locations in Thiruvalla region were employed in the present study. The conidia of isolates I and XI were longer than most of the other isolates. Isolate VII produced shorter but broader conidia than the other isolates. Oat meal and potato dextrose agar media were found very good for the growth of all the isolates. Maximum sporulation of most of the isolates was obtained in oat agar medium.
