Abstract: Conidiophores of all the isolates were simple, hyaline with single conidium borne at the tip except that of isolate BLS-9 which had three conidia born at tip and one at the middle of the conidiophore. The conidia were two celled in isolates BLS-7 and BLS-10 and all the conidia of remaining isolates were three celled and pyriform in shape with broad/narrow base and pointed/blunt apex. The average size (LXB) of conidia irrespective of isolates ranged between 22.20 – 8.35 X 7.28 – 2.65 μm. Among all the isolates BLS-11 formed larger conidia with average dimensions of 22.20 X 7.00 μm followed by BLS-9 (21.40 X 6.56 μm). Comparatively, small sized conidia were produced in isolate BLS-1 (08.35 X 2.65 μm).
