Sclerotium Rot

Definition: Sclerotium rot refers to a plant disease caused by various pathogenic fungi that attacks the tissues of plants, especially those belonging to the Sclerotium genus. It primarily affects the underground structures, such as bulbs, tubers, and rhizomes, resulting in rot, decay, and eventual death of the plant.

Examples:

1. The sclerotium rot infected the potato tubers, causing them to turn black and mushy.
2. To prevent the spread of sclerotium rot, it is crucial to promptly remove and destroy infected plant material.
3. The farmer noticed the characteristic white mycelium of the sclerotium rot fungus on the roots of the carrots.
4. Gardeners can use fungicides to control sclerotium rot and protect their plants.
