Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. and Sacc. is associated with aonla fruit rot. Laboratory studies were conducted to study the effect of different solid media on mycelia growth and sporulation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. and Sacc. Among all the solid media tested, maximum mycelial growth with excellent sporulation rating was obtained on Richard’s agar medium (90 mm) within six days and was significantly superior to all the other media tested. This was followed by Potato dextrose agar (88.83 mm) and Corn meal agar (88.40mm) under in vitro conditions. The growth characteristics of the fungus such as colour of the colony and sporulation were also different in different culture media. Maximum sporulation of the test fungus was found on Richard’s agar media whereas Minimum growth was observed on Host extract dextrose agar medium (68.17 mm).Thus the present work will be useful for further investigation on the physiology of the fungus and management of the disease.
