Alankrita Dashora* and Kanika Sharma
ABSTRACT
Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) also called red pepper is one of the most important commercial crops of India. Chillies are used throughout the world as a spice and also in the making of beverages and medicines. Major loss in chilli production is due to diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses. In the present study infected chilly fruit was used for isolation of fungal strains responsible for various diseases causing damage to the crop, which further results in its low yield and productivity. In the present study the growth of chilli pathogenic fungus on different nutrient media viz. potato dextrose agar, acidified PDA having pH 5, Vegetable 8 Juice agar media, oat meal agar and water agar was studied. Around 25 fungal species were isolated Keywords: Capsicum annum, Potato dextrose agar, Acidified PDA, Vegetable 8 Juice agar media, Oat meal agar and Water agar, Fungus.
