Present investigation reveals the study of morphological variation among different isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from various crops. Forty one diseased specimens were collected from different localities of Western Maharashtra and subjected to tissue isolation on PDA. Out of 41 specimens obtained from different hosts, 14 isolates from 14 various hosts were found to be pathogenic when inoculated on respective plant part. These 14 isolates were used for further study and further abbreviated as Cg-1 to Cg-14. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated differed significantly in all morphological traits except the type of mycelium. Mycelium of all isolates was septate. | Morphological variation among different isolates of colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from various crops in Western Maharashtra India
