Abstract

Competitive saprophytic colonization (CSC) of soybean and chickpea stem pieces byFusarium oxysporum f.sp.ciceri increased with the increase in inoculum density in inoculum soil mixtures. The colonization was higher even at loeer concentration of inoculum. Progressive dilutions of autoclaved soils with unsterilized soil decreased the CSC. Lower temperatures favoured the colonization in both red sandy loam and black soils. Maximum colonization occurred at 40°C indicating an inverse relation between colonization and temperature.
