Charcoal rot caused by the fungus have emerged as serious concern for cultivation of soybean under climate change scenario worldwide. In the present studies, 16 isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina from different regions of Madhya Pradesh were analyzed for Cultural and morphological variability. The parameters can be observed from results that Colony characteristics, length, width and number of sclerotia of sixteen isolates of Macrophomina phaseolina grown on P.D. A.
