ABSTRACT
Mulberry (Morus spp.) is a perennial crop and the sole food for silkworm (Bombyx mori). Among many diseases, fungal root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. and Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. is major one. Considering the importance of the pathogens and their growth pattern, in-vitro study has been conducted on abiotic environmental factors viz. temperature, pH, relative humidity and culture media by following the standard methods. The data were analyzed with one way ANOVA and Tukey HSD-Post Hoc Test (p?0.05). From the present study it was found that, the test pathogens grew profusely on PDA medium at 25-30°C with a pH range of 5.5-5.6 under relative humidity of 85-100%.
