Abstract:
Fusarium wilt is considered as one of the most important diseases of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) in green house as well as open field cultivation. Fusarium wilt were found associated with commercial grown cultivars with disease incidence ranging from 10.21 to 22.63 per cent in different location of Rajasthan. The mycelial growth and sporulatiuon of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was studied at different culture growth medium. Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) was found most significant to support the maximum mycelial growth with 88.04mm and abundant sporulation at 7th day of incubation at 25±1 0C followed by Oat meal agar medium with 81.14mm mycelial growth which was found statistically at par with Czapeck’s Dox medium (78.49 mm). The radial growth of fungus was also recorded on Corn meal medium and on Martins medium as 58.49 mm and 67.95 mm respectively.
