Butler is a&#13;
soil borne fungal pathogen causing significant yield losses due to change in&#13;
environmental conditions. Influence of seven temperatures regimes (15°C,&#13;
20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C and 45°C) were tested on growth of R.&#13;
bataticola isolates representing Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra,&#13;
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states of India. The maximum mycelial&#13;
growth was observed at 35ºC followed by 30 and 25ºC in all the isolates.&#13;
The optimum temperature for dry root rot severity rating was at 35°C (8.5)&#13;
followed by 30°C (7.9) followed by 25°C (7.0). Among the isolates,&#13;
Telangana isolate was virulent and caused maximum disease severity.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">Plant Protection</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Pest Management</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Chickpea</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Climate Change</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">Plant Disease</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2017</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:originInfo><mods:publisher>IJCMAS</mods:publisher></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Article</mods:genre></mods:mods>
