Abstract

---

Sclerotium rolfsii proved to be highly pathogenic on sunflower, mungbean and sugar beet, mildly pathogenic on tomato, lentil, sweet pumpkin and cabbage, and non-pathogenic on cauliflower plants in pot experiments. Increase in inoculum density of S. rolfsii caused gradual reduction in growth parameters of sunflower and mungbean plants whereas a positive correlation was observed between root colonization and population of S. rolfsii in soil.
