Authors
Ritesh Kumar, Nidhi B Thakur
Abstract
Cultivation of agricultural crops are largely affected by several biotic factors. Among that, collar rot causes significant damage to variety of crops and ultimately responsible for yield loss. Collar rot is caused by Sclerotium rolfsii, a soil inhabitant and non-specific facultative parasite that found in almost all types of agro-ecological systems. Wide variation among isolates and adaptability of the pathogen to high temperature suggesting to develop improved strategy for management. The problem associated to this fungus may be increased in future, particularly under changing climate. Development of fungicide with multiple mode of action can be a reliable option to manage this pathogen.
