growth and formation of sclerotia on different
media and apothecia development of
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
Varied in mycelium growth, size and number of
sclerotial produced was recorded. Potato sucrose
agar was found significantly superior in
mycelial growth and sclerotia formation among
the other media under study. Germination
overwintered sclerotia release of apothecia
