Abstract
Sporulation of fivePyricularia spp. on detached and injured leaf bits, and on media with leaf extracts ofCommelina benghalensis, was enhanced considerably by the leaf bits and extracts. Of the many substrates and substances reported for stimulating sporulation inPyricularia spp., detached and injured leaf bits, or leaf extracts ofC. benghalensis are commended.
