Isolation of Alternaria alternata from Wheat Crop Spike Let

Prabhat Kumar Mishra, Firoz Naem Khan

Abstract :

The best growth of Alternaria alternata was observed on Malt Yeast agar medium with a colony diameter of 2cm after 4 days of incubation. The decline phase started from the 12th day of incubation and favored acidic as well as neutral pH range. At alkaline ph, hydrogen ion concentration had inhibitory effect on the growth and development of mycelia and pigmentation of the fungus. Best growth had been observed at a wide range of temperature between 20-35ºC and sporulation was observed at 28ºC, and 95 to 100% RH proved optimum.
