Abstract: ANACAY, MA.RVIN, B. Growth Performance and Spore Production of Various Species of Fungi on Aerial Potato and Other Local Substrates, An Undergraduate Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, Major in Crop Protection, Cavite State University, Indang Cavite April 2006. Adviser: Dr. Yolanda A. Ilagan A study was conducted to seek equally effective and readily available source of nutrients; which can support the growth of fungi. Specifically, it aimed to: (1) determine the effect of aerial potato on the mycelia] growth and sporulation of fungi; and (2) determine the effect of dextrose substitutes in combination with aerial on various species of fungi. Aerial potato, molasses, coconut water, and brown sugar were used as substitutes for the components of Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). Six species of fungi were used namely; Alternaria sp., Aspergillus sp., Cercospora sp., Fusarium sp., Helminthasporium sp., and Metarhiziurn sp. Aerial Potato Dextrose Agar (APDA,) containing 200m1 of aerial potato infusion, 20 g dextrose and 15 agar supported the mycelial growth and sporulation of the six test fungi better than PDA. Aerial Potato Molasses Agar (APMA) was the best medium for Alternaria sp, Aspergillus sp., fiUsarium sp., and Hehninthosporium sp. Aerial Potato Brown Sugar Agar (APBSA) supported the growth of Cercospora .sp. Metarhizium cmisophae grew in Aerial Potato Coconut Water Agar (APCWA). Based on the results, aerial potato can be used as a substitute for the dehydrated Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA).
