The effect of temperature on growth and sporulation of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis was showed maximum growth and sporulation at 25ºC. Optimum temperature for growth of pathogen was 20-25ºC. However, at 35ºC growth and sporulation of the pathogen was drastically reduced. The continuous dark condition was found to be the best condition for growth and sporulation of the pathogen followed by continuous light and control condition (under room temperature).The pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis was grow under a wide range of hydrogen ion concentration. The pH range required for maximum growth was found to be 5.0 to 6.0.
