Aphid-pathogenic fungus,Pandora neoaphidis, grown on broomcorn millet possesses greater sporulation capacity (Cs) than aphid cadavers. The most sporulating cultures (32.0 × 104spores millet−1grain) with water content (Cw) of 48.7% were prepared by incubation at 20 °C for 15 days and used to study the effect of temperature and humidity onCsduring long-term storage. Cultures were sealed with paper to retain ambient humidity, with parafilm for saturated humidity, or kept in 85% and 98% RH chambers. TheCwandCswere monitored during 200-day storage at 5–20 °C. The paper-sealed cultures at 5 °C, associated with 21–25% ofCw, were best preserved and their 120-dayCswas similar to that of the fresh cadavers. Consistently or variably high RH at 5 °C resulted in significantly higherCwand lowerCsdespite longer viability. The regimes at ?10 °C preserved the cultures for ?40 days. The observations fit well to the logistic modelCs= 35.28/{1 + exp[−2.36 + (−0.003Cw+ 0.001CwT)t]} (r2= 0.95) for all regimes of temperature (T) orCs= 35.55/[1 + exp(−2.33 + 0.001Cwt)] (r2= 0.93) at 5 °C only. The rate of decline ofCsof −0.003Cw+ 0.001CwTor 0.001Cwover days (t) highlights the primary effect ofCw. The dailyCs-decline rates obtained for the best-stored cultures and air-dried cadavers stored at 5 °C were surprisingly identical. The results suggest a possible cheap method for preparing and storing large quantities ofP. neoaphiodisinocula.
