Abstract

A selective medium containing three antibiotics, three fungicides, and rose Bengal has been developed for the determination of populations of viable conidia of Cochliobolus sativus in soils by the dilution plate procedure. With this medium, complete recovery of added conidia was achieved; the level of recovery was not significantly different (P > 0.05) when conidia were present in two different soils. The medium should be useful for ecological studies of C. sativus.
