The results investigated of the effect of light, pH, and nutrients in vitro and the levels of fertilizer(P,K and Ca) in vivo in order to find out the effect of environmental factors in forming an appressorium of Colletotrichum truncatum were as follows; The ratio of appressorium formation promoted more in a light treatment than in a dark treatment according to investigation after three and six hours passed away. But after the period, the ratio of appressorium formation promoted highly in both treatments.
Reasonable pH of appressorium formation was pH 6-pH 8. The ratio of appressorium formation was the most favorable at none nutrient level in every treatment of C-source and N-source, and suppressed in a high concentration of C-source and N-source. But according as the time passed away, the ratio of appressorium formation promoted in C-source and N-source. When their quantities were increased in P and K treatments, the ratio of appressorium formation was somewhat suppressed but it was highly suppressed in the gradual order of none fertilizer level $lt; standard fertilizer level $lt; doubled fertilizer level in Ca treatment according to investigation after the first three hours passed away. But after the period, the ratio of appressorium formation promoted highly regardless of the level of fertilizer.
