Abstract

Biological characteristics of Curvularia lunata(Wakker)Boedijn had been preliminarily studied. Optimal mediums for pathogen growth were PSA,PDA and OMA.For mycelia growth,sporulation and conidial germination of pathogen,optimal temperature was 25~30℃,and pH 5~9.Among the tested carbon and nitrogen resources,sucrose,glucose,carbamide,sodium nitrate,etc were beneficial for mycelia growth and sporulation.The conidia germination is strict in RH requirement:Conidia can germinate at RH 81%~98%,or have 100% germination rate in water.The effect of light is not obvious on pathogen growth.The lethal temperature for conidia is at 55℃(10min).
