Description :
This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different carbon and nitrogen source on production of biomass of Septoria lycopersici. Five different carbon and nitrogen source were used for the production of biomass. Septoria lycopersici was a potential pathogen of Solanum lycopersicum, was isolated from diseased Solanum lycopersicum leaves from Nashik District and used for the present study. Pathogen was grown on the Czapek- Dox liquid medium substituting or adding different carbon, nitrogen to study biomass production. The growth as dry mycelial biomass was observed on the 8th day of incubation period. A great extent of growth variation was observed on different carbon, nitrogen. Among the carbon source, glucose shows maximum biomass while dextrose with minimum biomass. From nitrogen source potasium nitrate shows maximum and nickel nitrate with minimum biomass production was recorded.
