PATHOGENCITY OF SCLEROTIUM ROLFSII ON DIFFERENT CROPS AND EFFECT OF INOCULUM DENSITY ON COLONIZATION OF MUNGBEAN AND SUNFLOWER ROOTS
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.
