Summary
Abundant sporulation of certain isolates ofColletotrichum graminicola (Ces.)Wils., occurred when sufficient aeration was provided to their liquid culture either by reducing the quantity of the media or by forcing air into them. Certain carbon and nitrogen compounds caused more sporulation of only orchard grass isolate of the fungus. When sufficient aeration was provided to the culture media more sporulation also occurred at a temperature range of 20–30°C. Glucose content of the media did not have any influence on sporulation.
