Abstract : Lasiodiplodia theobromae causing sudden death of mango is air borne as well as soil borne pathogen. For its vegetative mycelial growth PDA adjusted at pH-7 was found to be the most suitable. This medium yielded maximum fungal mycelial growth when incubated at 25°C under alternate light and darkness condition.
