Crude toxin production and chemical control of Boeremia exigua.

ABSTRACT: Mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) rotiform disease is caused by Boeremia exigua var. exigua which affects seriously its yields and quality. During its growth, B. exigua can produce toxins but less is known about it. The biological characters of B. exigua were studied. The ideal culture conditions of mycelial growth were pH 5-8, 25 °C, static, and continuous light for 27 days, mannitol can replace sucrose as the most favorable carbon source in the modified Czapek solution, moreover, the addition of inositol or Vitamin B2 was benefit. The ideal culture conditions of crude toxin production were pH 5-7, 25 °C, static, and continuous light for 21 days, the studies did demonstrate that Czapek medium resulted in high levels of toxin formation, while Malt extract and Richard medium resulte
