초록

The growth and multiplication of Aspergillus flavus Link and A. tamarii Kita were observed in vitro under variable temperatures of $22-31^{\circ}C$. The matte weight of mycelium and number of conidia/ml were significantly higher (P < 0.01) at the higher temperature than the lower temperature in both the species of Aspergillus. In vivo the mortality in silkworm, Bombyx mori L. with the infection of Aspergillus species was significantly (P < 0.01) different at different temperature and relative humidity conditions.
