Summary
Five isolates ofP. palmivora isolated from diseased areca fruits were under study. These exhibited differences in various characters. Sexual reproductive bodies were formed by some of the strains on the fruits in nature. These strains developed oospores in single sporangial cultures on agar media also. Carrot agar was found to be better suited for the formation of numerous oospores.
