Abstract


Bulb-rot of garlic has assumed serious proportions in the Nilgiris district in Tamil Nadu, India. Rotting of bulb, drying of leaves from the tip, production of side shoots are the characteristic symptoms seen on the plant. Fusarium oxysporum Schlect, Fusarium equiseti Corda, Botrytis allii (Munn) and Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. were identified as bulb-rot causing organisms. F. oxysporum, F. equiseti and S. rolfsii were so far not reported earlier and this is the first report.
