Abstract

The effects of temperature on mycelial growth and the relationship between rainfall temperature and disease incidence were studied. The optimum temperature for the growth of the C. salmonicolor was 28 C. The minimum and maximum temperatures for fungal growth were 5 C and 40 C respectively. In the field there was an exponential reduction of basidiospores caught after rainfall. Studies carried out for 22 months in the infected field showed that basidiospores played an important role in the incidence of pink disease.
