Abstract:
Laboratory studies were conducted to study the effect of different culture media, pH and temperature on radial growth and sporulation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi. The fungus grew the best on PDA media among seven culture media were tested. The most suitable pH level for growth of fungus was 7.0 with excellent sporulation. Growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. pisi was maximum at 25 °C after 168 hours of incubation, which was reduced drastically below 10 °C and above 35 °C .
