The effect of different media (Oat meal agar, Corn meal agar, Czapeck’s Dox agar, Potato dextrose agar, Richard’s synthetic agar and 2% malt extract agar) on light wavelengths (red, yellow, blue, green) and temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35â°C) were examined to determine optimal conditions for mycelial growth of Curvularia lunata causing Curvularia leaf spot of maize under in vitro conditions. Amongst media under different temperatures, maximum mycelial growth (88.17 mm) was found in Potato dextrose agar 30â°C followed (84.33 mm) by Potato dextrose agar at 25â°C. Similarly, the effect of media and wavelength, maximum radial growth was observed on Oat meal agar in blue light (86.33 mm).
