ABSTRACT
Among the ten different nitrogenous compounds tested for their effect on the growth and sclerotial formation of M. phaseolina, significantly higher growth of the fungus was recorded in peptone (55 mm) as compared to the rest. High level of sclerotial formation was observed in peptone (+++), potassium nitrate (+++) and Richards' agar (+++). Nitrogen sources found to stimulate the growth and sclerotial production of the pathogen.
