Management of Sclerotium rolfsii‐caused stem and pod rots of groundnut—a critical review†

Abstract

Sclerotium rolfsii‐caused stem and pod rots are major constraints to groundnut production in many groundnut‐growing regions, and pose a serious threat to post‐rainy and summer season groundnuts in expanding irrigated production systems. Considerable research has been carried out on the management of these diseases. The most relevant literature is reviewed and future research strategies are indicated
