Abstract
The effects of relative humidity, temperature, and lighting conditions on germination of conidia Entomophthora delphasis were investigated. A large number of conidia germinated in water drops, but few at 100% RH without water drops, and none germinated below 93% RH. The germination occurred at temperatures between 15 and 35°C in water drops, and the optimum temperature for germination was 25°C. The germination rate was not affected significantly by light.Keywords
