Summary
The effect of temperature on the growth ofS. rolfsii and the effect of soil temperature on the development of sclerotial wilt ofpan were studied.
It was found that the optimum temperature for the vegetative growth of the organism in culture was 28° C. and the maximum number of sclerotia was formed at 28° and 30° C. in culture. The optimum temperature for the germination of sclerotia in Dox agar was observed to be 28° C.”
Optimum soil temperature for the development of the disease was found to be 28° C., although at 25° and 30° C. the disease was quite severe.
