Abstract | Five methods of harvesting pure secondary conidia were attempted, but only one was successful. The only successful method involved moving air across the surface of water agar plates or moist soil on which secondary sporulation was occurring at 0.2 – 3 m/s. Among the inoculation techniques, brushing the secondary conidia on to the wet stigma gave maximum ergot infection (80%) followed by brushing the |
