 ABSTRACT

The relative humidity studies revealed that maximum mycelial of fungus was observed at 90 per cent relative humidity (89.00 mm), which was followed by 100 per cent (86.30 mm). The least mycelia growth was observed at 50 per cent (45.30 mm). A significant decrease in mycelium growth was observed at 80, 70 and 60 per cent (80.40 mm, 70.20 mm and 57.00 mm) humidity level, respectively. Each fungus has its relative humidity range for the growth.

Keywords: Humidity, Mycelium, Mungbean, Growth.
