First report of Macrophomina root rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) on medicinal coleus (Coleus forskohlii) in India
Plant Pathology 55 (2), 302-302
Abstract: In 2003, a serious disease outbreak was observed on coleus grown in Tamil Nadu, India. The symptoms were yellowing and drooping of the leaves, blackening of the stem, rotting of the root, basal stem and bark peeling. A fungus was isolated from the diseased parts and was identified as Macrophomina phaseolina based on the symptoms and mycelial characters. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
