Abstract

          This research aimed to investigate the utilization of rice by-products, namely rice bran, rice straw, and rice husk, as substitutes for potatoes in potato dextrose agar (PDA) media in the laboratory. Five different culture media formulations were prepared: potato dextrose agar (PDA), rice straw agar (RSA), rice husk agar (RHA), rice bran agar (RBA), and water agar (WA). The study evaluated the mycelial growth and spore production of the fungal strains Fusarium fujikuroi and Fusarium oxysporum. The experimental results revealed that F. fujikuroi exhibited optimal growth on the RSA medium, with an average mycelial length of 74.75 mm, which was not statistically significantly different from the PDA medium (p<0.05). Conversely, F. oxysporum exhibited the best growth on the RHA medium, with an average mycelial length of 78.50 mm, which was not statistically significantly different from the PDA medium (p<0.05). Regarding spore production, the RBA medium yielded the highest number of spores for both F. fujikuroi and F. oxysporum (p<0.05), with average counts of 1.4×108 and 6.3×106 spores/ml, respectively. The findings demonstrate that rice bran, rice straw, and rice husk can be effectively utilized as substitutes for potatoes in culture media for the laboratory cultivation of F. fujikuroi and F. oxysporum.
