THE SURVIVAL ABILITY OF CARBENDAZIM RESISTANT MUTANT OF ASPERGILLUS NIGER IN MIXED POPULATION ON ZYZUPUS FRUIT

In natural population of plant pathogenic fungi, there is potential danger due to development of fungicide resistance in the pathogen. Hence it is important to know the ability of such mutant for its survival in the sensitive population. Fitness of resistant Aspergillus niger mutant in the absence and presence of carbendazim was evaluated and its significance in the management of resistance is discussed.
