Description :
Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) family solanaceae is an important vegetable and a spice crop worldwide and one of the most important vegetables in India. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Assam, are found to be important states growing Tomato in India. Tomato is one of the most commercially cultivating crops from Maharashtra state of the India. Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum coccoides is a major problem in India and one of the more significant economic constraints of tomato Production worldwide, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, Effect of different Temperature and Light Intensity tested against the growth of C. coccoides under in Vitro. The present investigation was conducted to examine the effect of different temperature and light Intensity on the mycelial growth. Potato dextrose agar medium supported significantly the maximum growth of all two isolates of C. coccoides. Further, the strains were found to very morphologically between the isolates under the study. Effect of different temperature, Light intensity tested against the growth of C. coccoides under in vitro. Result indicated that the growth of C. coccoides was maximum at light intensity range of 65.6mm. Further, the strains were found to vary morphologically between the isolates under the study.
