Abstract

Lowest disease incidence (35.4%)was recorded in Darbhanga followed by Khagaria (41.6%).60.5% disease was recorded in plants having 51-100 cm girth followed by plants 101-150cm girth (48.7%). Waterlogged condition aggravated the disease incidence. Fusarium solani 1. sp. dalbergiae has been confirmed as the pathogen.
