A laboratory method for inducing sporophore formation and pathogenicity in Ganoderma zonatum muril. - (:unkn) unknown (My University)
A technique is reported for the production of sporophores of Ganoderma zonatum Muril., in Kilner jars in four weeks by inoculating stem dust medium (SDM) with 1 mm3 of the fungal mycelium. Basidiomycetes agar mdeim (BAM) was found effective for the isolation of the fungus from sporophores and infected materials. Root inoculations of fifteen-year old plams, using inoculum produced by the technique, resulted in Ganoderma disease development within three years. Two out of three seedlings planted 1 m from the base of a palm killed by Ganoderma disease were also killed by the disease within two and three years respectively.
