DR PRUTHVIRAJ 02 08 The morphology of both conidia and setae of Colletotrichum truncatum Schw Andrus and Moore isolates from soybean were compared and found to be distinct Conidial shape was more useful than size in isolate determination Average conidial length was maximum 2646 m in isolate Ct1 followed by Ct2 2375 m Ct 4 2225 m Ct3 2172 m Ct5 2072m and Ct6 1881 m whereas the width was maximum 463 m in isolate Ct3 followed by Ct2 412 m Ct4 392 m Ct 5 386 m Ct1 367 m and Ct6 356 m Average setal length was maximum 16665 m in isolate Ct1 followed by Ct2 12216 m Ct 3 6173 m Ct4 5258 m Ct5 4783 m and Ct 6 4436 m whereas the width was maximum 550 m in isolate Ct1 followed by Ct6 539 m Ct4 537 m Ct5 522 m Ct2507 m and Ct3 492 m Total number of setae per fascile was maximum in isolate Ct1 158 followed by Ct3 125 Ct4 115 Ct5105 Ct2 95 and Ct6 48 Copyright (c) Journal of Science Engineering Technology and Management Science.
