Abstract: The hyphae of Ustilaginoidea virens were septate, tightly woven and 2.5-3.0 µm in width. Initially, colony was hyaline later on turned orange, greyish and brown to black in colour. Conidia were sub globose, ovoid, hyaline, unicellular and measured 5.0 x 3.0µm. Chlamydospores formed on pseudo morph were initially smooth spherical and orange yellow coloured. At maturity, they became dark brown coloured, echinulate with rough surface and 5 to 6 µm in diameter. Maximum vegetative growth of Ustilaginoidea virens was recorded on potato dextrose agar (90mm) followed by glucose peptone agar medium (81.50 mm) of colony diameter. Oat meal agar medium supported maximum sporulation of the pathogen followed by rice meal agar medium.
