Abstract

Collar rot of Bauhinia purpurea caused by Rhizoctonia solani was recorded for the first time in India. The fungus also attacked cotyledons and caused rotting to varying extent. The disease was effectively controlled by seed treatment with Thiride @ 6g/kg and soil drenching with Dithane M-45 (0.3%) @ 20 ml per tube in root trainers prior to sowing of seeds.
