Fungus Epicoccum nigrum is one of the most important potential biocontrol agents of plant pathogens. To optimise the application methods, the study investigated the influence of temperature and nutrient media on Epicoccum nigrum mycelium growth. The optimal temperature for Epicoccum nigrum growth ranged from 17 to 25⁰C. At 9 ⁰C, Epicoccum nigrum showed a delayed beginning of the growth compared to the other temperatures. The lowest mycelial growth was recorded on Sabouraud maltose agar (SMA), while cultures on malt extract agar (MEA), cornmeal agar (CMA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA) showed the same growth. The colour of cultures varied depending on temperature and nutrient media. The application of Epicoccum nigrum in biotechnical purposes was discussed.
