Phoma asparagi Sacc. could grow and form pycnidia on six autoclaved plant residues saprophgtically. However, pycnidia were found only asparagus, alfalfa and corn in six test unsterilized plant residues. The number, size and time of pycnidia formation were optimum on asparagus stems and varied dependent on the residues on which the pathogen saprophytically grown. The sarpophytic activity of the fungus on asparagus stem segments decreased in the descending order of different degree of sterilization, surface disfestation and washing treatments such as autoclave, propylene oxide, sodium hypochlorite, ethyl alcohol, sterilized water, and distilled water, respectively. In sterilized soil, the pathogen could colonize on asparagus stem segment within 5 to 30% (w/w) moisture content. However, it was reduce to 15 to 25 % moisture content in unsterilized ones. The results indicated that P. asparagi may sarpophytically grow in field for survive and serve as a source of inoculum. |
