Abstract
Mango anthracnose disease is one of the major fungal diseases of mango. In the present study, the rate of growth of Anthracnose (C. gloeosporioides) has been compared in various solid culture media types viz., PDA (Potato Dextrose Agar), (WA) Water agar, (MLE) Mango leaf extract agar, (CDA) Czapek’s Dox agar, (MEA) Malt Extract Agar etc. Among all the solid media tested, maximum mycelial growth was observed in Potato Dextrose Agar Medium (89mm) and in Czapek’s Dox Agar Medium (89 mm), which was remarkably greater than the other culture media. It was followed by Sabouraud’s Agar Medium (83mm), Mango Leaf Extract Agar Medium (83mm) and Asthana & Hawker’s Media (85mm). All growth was recorded at room temperature (24oC). Czapek’s Dox Agar Medium and Potato Dextrose Agar Medium were found to be most suitable medium for growth. Rest of the culture media recorded colony diameter in the range of 83mm (Sabouraud’s Agar Medium), 83mm (Mango Leaf Extract Medium), 75mm (Malt Extract Agar), 85mm (Asthana and Hawker’s Medium), 78mm (Corn Meal Agar), 82mm (V8 Juice Agar Medium), and lowest growth 84mm on (Water Agar Medium).
