Abstract
Investigation carried out on the effect of different concentrations of the inoculum of the ergot fungus,Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul., in relation to the yield of ergot sclerotia indicated that the increase in concentration of the inoculum increased the yield of ergot sclerotia upto the D2 concentration (3200 spores/ml.). Further increase in concentration of the inoculum beyond D2 (3200 spores/ml.) gave no significant increase in the yield of ergot sclerotia.
