The book explores the devastating impact of Sclerotium rolfsii, a pathogen causing collar rot in over 500 vegetable species, particularly in tropical and sub-tropical climates. It details the characterization of eight isolates from various crops in Bangladesh, focusing on their morphological, growth, and molecular traits. The study highlights variations in pathogenicity and virulence, with a specific emphasis on the growth rate, lesion size, and mortality rates of the plants. Notably, tomato isolates exhibited the highest virulence among those tested.
