Abstract

Anthracnose of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) caused by Colletoinchurn graminicola (Ces.) Wilson (=Colletotrichurn sublineolum Henn. Kabat et Bub.) is an economically important disease throughout the world, especially in warm and humid climate. The pathogen is highly variable and a number of pathotypes/races are known to exist. In this investigation pathogenic variability was studied among 12 isolates of C. gmminimla using a set of six host differential lines. The isolates were collected from four major sorghum growing states (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Radesh and Tamil Nadu) of India. These included 8 leaf isolates (Cg 20, Cg 75, Cg 94, Cg 118, Cg 130, Cg 138, Cg 150, Cg 158), 1 grain isolate (Cg 226), 1 mid rib isolate (Cg 227) and 2 monoconidial isolates (Cg 226-3 and Cg 227-3) derived from grain and midrib isolates. The isolates were also characterized for morphological, cultural and molecular diversity....
