In vitro physiological studies revealed that fungus grew well on PDA and malt extract media. Maximum mycelial growth was recorded on Potato dextrose agar medium at 25±2°C temperature and pH 7.0 for all the three Alternaria spp. The severe symptoms were produced by Alternaria alternata Alternaria macrospora and Alternaria gossypina. Thus, it was confirmed that the maximum toxin was produced by Alternaria alternata as compared to Alternaria macrospora and Alternaria gossypina. Non-Bt cotton plants were more susceptible as compared to Bt cotton plants.

Abstract


In vitro physiological studies revealed that fungus grew well on PDA and malt extract media. Maximum mycelial growth was recorded on Potato dextrose agar medium at 25±2°C temperature and pH 7.0 for all the three Alternaria spp. The severe symptoms were produced by Alternaria alternata Alternaria macrospora and Alternaria gossypina. Thus, it was confirmed that the maximum toxin was produced by Alternaria alternata as compared to Alternaria macrospora and Alternaria gossypina. Non-Bt cotton plants were more susceptible as compared to Bt cotton plants.
