Abstract


Rangaswami and Pandurangan (1962) observed the occurrence of Helminthosporium setariae on Tenai (Setaria italica) in Madras State for the first time. The outbreak of the disease in severe form in 1967 in and around Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu made it necessary to take up the studies on the pathogen. In an earlier communication, Vidhyasekaran et al. (1969) have reported the N nutrition of the fungus. The present paper reports the effect of various carbon sources on growth and sporulation of the fungus.
