ABSTRACT
Pomegranate is one among the major fruit crops of arid zone. Cultural studies of Ceratocystis fimbriata, causal agent of wilt of pomegranate on different solid media. The fungus was grown on eight solid media. The results indicated that the best mycelial growth was made on oat meal agar (9.0 cm) followed by Richard’s agar (8.4 cm) and Potato Dextrose Agar (8.3 cm). Least growth was recorded in Raulin´s media (1.4 cm) with Host leaf extract agar (2.1 cm) showing similar results. Perithecium production on PDA was faster than other media and also perithecium was produced in Malt agar, Oat meal agar and Richard’s agar. On PDA abundant mycelial growth, uniformly white, uniformly dense, cottony appearance of mycelium at the periphery, very prominent pin head structure, undulated colony margin.
Keywords: Oat meal agar, Potato dextrose agar, perithecium, solid media
