Cultural and Morphological Variability in Rhizoctonia solani Isolates of different hosts of Assam

Manashi Debbarma, Pranab Dutta

Abstract :

Rhizoctonia solani (teleomorph: Thanatephorus spp.) is a plant pathogenic fungus with a wide host range. It is best known to cause various plant diseases such as collar rot, root rot, damping– off, sheath blight, stem canker, web blight, and wire stem throughout the world. Morphological variability was studied in 6 isolates of R. solani having different hosts from Assam. Colony size, colony growth, colour and sclerotia formation (ring at periphery, peripheral or scattered), location (surface) and texture (smooth or rough) varied in these isolates.
