The primary inoculum process begins with an ascogonium ( female ) and antheridium ( male ) joining to produce an offspring.
12.
Another possible source for primary inoculum could be infected leaves fallen on the ground however the importance of this mechanism is unknown.
13.
Conidia will germinate, causing primary inoculum under the following circumstances : presence of free water in 12 hours and adequate temperature ( 36-90 �F ( 2-32 �C ) ).
14.
From this point, you see more white powdery signs of powdery mildew, and these structures produce secondary inoculum to reinfect the host with mycelium and conidia, or use the mycelium to produce primary inoculum to another plant.
15.
Mummified berries, twig bark, and dead branches are considered to be primary inoculum sources for the disease . " Colletotrichum " conidium germination can occur 24 hours after conidia enter into contact with the tissues of the host plant.
16.
Since the primary inoculum for " C . capsici " are seeds both internally and externally infected, it is important to inspect the seed and dispose of infected seed ( Chandra Nayaka, S ., Udaya Shankar, A . C ., Niranjana, S . R ., Prakash, H . S ., & Mortensen, 2009 ).
