Characterization of Rhizoctonia solani causing Fruit rot of Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) in Wayanad and in vitro Evaluation of Fungicides, Organic preparations and Bioagents for its Management

Strawberry, one of the most delicate, sweet and refreshing temperate fruit has grabbed the minds of several farmers and consumers all over the world. Several fungal diseases affect it. As part of the study, surveys were carried out in major strawberry growing parts of Kerala viz., Wayanad, Idukki, M...

However, rotten fruits with dark and hard encrustations were collected only from Wayanad district during 2015-16. Pathogen was isolated by following the standard protocol and Koch’s postulates were proved. Upon culturing, the fungal isolate produced white mycelia turning brown on maturation with rapid growth.
