Effect of temperature on micelial growth, production and conidial germination of Colletotrichum spp. from Coffea arabica L

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of temperature on micelial growth, production and conidial germination of Colletotrichum spp. isolates from branches, leaves and fruits of coffee with symptoms of blister spot and tip blight. The isolates presented differentiated behavior regarding the speed of mycelial growth, sporulation capacity and the formation of reproductive structures, showing high capacity of adaptation to different temperatures.
