ABSTRACT
Rose (Local/ Deshi) is one of the important flower crops and grown more or less in North Gujarat. Among different diseases, die- back of rose caused by Botryodiplodia theobromae is one of the most dreaded diseases throughout the North Gujarat. Considering the seriousness of the problem, the present investigations were carried out to generate more information for developing suitable control measures. Out of ten solid and liquid media tried, carrot root agar, Richard’s medium and potato dextrose were proved best for the mycelial growth of the fungus. In liquid media Richard’s medium, rose twig agar, Czapek’s medium potato dextrose agar were produced maximum dry mycelial weight and maximum sporulation produced by Richard’s agar, oat meal agar and Czapek’s medium.
Key words: Rose, Medium, Oat meal, Sporulation
