Fusarium flocciferum causing rot of emerging culms in D. strictus in germplasm bank in the campus of Forest Research Institute, Dehradun is reported as a new record. The disease was found to be affecting new supple emerging culms in the surveyed area. This dreading disease has its most impact in monsoon seasons where there are favourable conditions for the pathogen to flourish and attack the new culms. In vitro fungicidal bioassay was carried out using two systemic and two non-systemic fungicides, out of which Carbendazim was found most effective in complete colony inhibition against the pathogen.References
