207 Project Profile Summary
Despite considerable increase in the productivity and production under Technological
Mission on Oilseeds, huge amount of money is spent on the import of edible oil. A wide
Gap exists between the potential yields and the yield realized at farmer field, which is
largely because of number of biotic stresses to which mustard is exposed. Indian mustard
{Brassica juncea(L.) Czern & Coss} is one of the major oilseed crops cultivated in India and
around the word. Rajasthan ranks first in area, production and productivity of mustard.
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum(Lib.) de Bary has become important in recent times in India in
general and Rajasthan in particular with high(up to 66%) disease incidence and severe yield
losses (up to 39.9%) leading to discouragement of farmers growing the crop. Sclerotinia
stem rot has been rated as the most important eight problems being faced by the farmer of
Bharatpur District in mustard cultivation in recent times. Scelerotinia is one of the most
omnivorous, non specific and damaging plant pathogens. The pathogen is reported to have a
wide host range, known to infect about 400 plant species with no proven source of resistance
against the disease till date in any host. It causes considerable damage in rapeseed-mustard,
cauliflower, cabbage, carrot, sunflower and peas. It is able to form stable heterokaryons and
has field populations that are genetically heterogeneous. The project is aimed to develop,
Integrated disease Management strategies for the Sclerotinia stem rot of mustard. It is based
on the data generated and strategies proposed by different research organizations. An IDM
module (package of practices) will be tested and validated at selected centers, with special
emphasis on host plant resistance, biopesticides and botanicals. Module will be compared
with recommended practices and with the farmer’s own practices. This IDM module will
reduce the excessive use of chemical pesticides and side by side save the other beneficial
microbes. In the present project, sustainable IDM strategies will be developed by including
host plant resisitance, biopesticides and botanicals for the management of Sclerotinia stem
rot of mustard.

III: Technical Details
220 Introduction Although research and implementation of IDM has been successful in developed countries, IDM
has not made significant progress in India. Further information on status, etiology and
epidemiology of disease has so far not been established. Hence, it has been difficult to implement
IDM Programme for Sclerotinia stem rot of mustard in India. The Sclerotinia stem rot has
emerged as a serious threat to mustard cultivation, particularly in Rajasthan where the soil is heavy
, RH is comparatively high and prolonged cool temperatures prevail during the winters,
harmonized with flowering and pod formation stage of crop. The sclerotia that fall in the ground
miz up in soil during crop harvest and add primary inoculums in the following years. Being a
polyphagous pathogen, the disease once appeared is difficult to be eradicated. Sclerotinia rot or
white blight of mustard has become a serious problem : 10 to 66 percent disease incidence in
Rajasthan and 70-72 percent in severe cases in Uttar Pradesh. Yield losses vary with the crop Stage
and time of infection. Plant infected in the early flowering stage will set seed. Sclerotia of this
polyphagous soil-borne pathogen, survive in soil even under adverse conditions up to 10 years. In
recent years, an increasing consciousness about environmental pollution due to pesticides and
development fungicide resistant strains in Plant pathogens (Gossen et al., 2001; Annette Penaud et
al, 2003) has challenged plant pathologists to search for ecofriendly disease management tools by
including the IDM component of host Plant resistance, biopesticides and botanicals. Keeping this
in view, the Sustainable strategies including host plan resistance, biopesticides and botanicals will
be developed for Sclerotinia rot of mustard.
Objectives
1. Surveys of major mustard growing areas of Rajasthan for assessing the incidence and severity
of Sclerotinia stem rot disease.
2. Development and field validations of Sclerotinia stem rot management technology in mustard
following IDM strategies.
3. Developments of Sclerotinia stem rot forewarning and virulence assessment system.
4. Extensions of IDM technologies of Sclerotinia stem rot of mustard to the farmers.
2201 Origin of the project(Problem Identification)
Indian mustard is a major crop of Rajasthan, Haryana and western U.P. It suffers heavy loss
due to attack of Sclerotinia stem rot disease at flowering stage of the crop. This crop is
incurred by serious losses by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In recent years, Sclerotinia stem rot has
become important in mustard with high disease incidence (up to 70 %) and severe yield losses
(up to 40 %) leads to discouragement of farmers growing the crop. Therefore, this area has
been selected for management of Sclerotinia stem rot of Brassica juncea by following
integrated disease management strategies.
2202 Immediate Objectives:
1. To assess the incidence and severity of Sclerotinia stem rot of Brassica juncea in Rajasthan.
2. To study the major constraints in the development, synthesis and adoption of IDM technology
for Sclerotinia stem rot of Brassica juncea.
2203 Long term objective
1. Management of Sclerotinia stem rot, a main problem in major mustard growing areas.
2. To popularize Sclerotinia stem rot IDM technology among farmers.
2204 Review of STATUS OF Research in the Subjecto(References as Annexure 1)
International Status
Rapeseed and mustard are the short duration winter crops of this subcontinent, and their disease
problems are vastly different and more acute than those of long duration rape(Brassica napus) and
turnip rape(B. camperstris) of temperature countries like Canada and Europe(Bhowmik, 2003).
Brassica juncea is extensively grown for its oil in Asia. Studies conducted on the rapeseed in the
recent past on Sclerotinia stem rot (Bradely et al., 2006: del Rio et al., 2007), give sketchy
description of the disease, and information provided is not directly relevant to the serious problem
of Sclerotinia stem rot (Bradley et al.., 2006: del directly relevant to the serious problem
Sclerotinia stem rot of mustard of this region of this region.
Calcium nutrition of crucifers is likely to be important in reaction to S. sclerotiorum. Appreciable
degrees of resistance to S. sclerotiorum in cultivated crucifers are non-existent.
National Status
Sclerotinia stem rot was first reported from Pusa (Bihar), India in 1915. In Assam mustard crop
failed due to stem rot attack (Roy and Saikia,1976). Formerly, Sclerotinia stem rot was minor
importance in India. In eighties, while Stem rot disease of Brassica juncea has emerged in serious
form and observed in many parts of country (Sharan et al.(1985). In 1991-92 Sclerotinia stem rot
of mustard recorded spectacular height in various district of Rajasthan (Lodha et al., 1992). Gupta
et al. (1994) reported that Sclerotinia stem rot is a serious problem in Brassica growing area of
north-western Haryana and suggested biological control of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by VAM
fungi. Stem rot is also a major cause of losses in mustard (up to 72% losses in severe cases) in
Uttar Pradesh(Singh et al., 1997). Kang and Chahal(2000) reported prevalence(2-3%) and
incidence(.2-12%) of white rot- a recent threat to rapeseed- mustard cultivation. Shivpuri and
Ghasolia(2003) estimated the seed yield losses of 37.2-92.3% due to Sclerotinia stem rot has
become a serious problem in Rajsthan in many Districs viz., Kota, Swaimadhopur,
Shriganganagar, Jhunjhunu, Alwar, Jaipur, Hanumangarh, Dausa, Ajmer and Bharatpur.
Management of Sclerotinia stem rot of B. Juncea
Sclerotinia is difficult to control due to the wide range of host plants it can infect and its ability to
survive in soil as sclerotia for long period. Use of fungicides in oilseeds Brassicas to manage
Sclerotinia for long period Use of fungicides in oilseeds Brassicas to manage Sclerotinia stem rot
in Indian mustard through and integrated approach. Sharma et al (2001) reported effect of various
agronomic practices on the incidence of white rot of Indian mustard caused by Sclerotinia
sclerrtiorum. Crop sown between 4th
wk of oct. of 1st wk of Nov. had minimum(9.5%) white rot
severity than significantly higher(49.2%) on sowing between 2nd
and 3rd
wk of Oct. white rot was
less (13.7%) in fallow-raya-fallow-raya rotation than pearlmillet-raya rotation. Yadav(2004)
recommended integrated management of mustard diseases including Sclerotinia stem rot in
Punjab.
Sharma and Basandarai (1997) reported that boiagents(Trichoderma viride, T. Harzianum and T.
Rasecum) and carbendazim were highly effective in reducing the sclerotial viability in cauliflower
individually and in combination. Singh(1998) reported biological control of Sclerotinia stem rot of
rapeseed and mustard. Trichoderma viride showed strong antibiosis and formed 2-3mm zone of
inhibition after six days of inoculation in duel culture. Pathak et al.(2001) reported the effect of
antagonistic fungi and seed dressing fungicides on the incidence of stem rot of mustard. Seed
treatment with T. viride, T. harzianum and T. virens were effective over untreated check but their
combination with seed dressing fungicides further improved their effect. Chattopadhyay et al.
(2002) reported management of Sclerotinia rot of Indian mustard using ecofriendly strategies. Seed
treatment with GR isolate of T. viride was the best in reducing Sclerotinia rot of Indian mustard
with foliar spray of same bioagent. Chattopadhyay et al. (2004) further reported that bulb extract
of A. sativum as seed treatment integrated with its foliar spray provided the highest reduction of
Sclerotinia rot, there by reduced losses in seed yield and overcame stunting due to the disease.
Thus the study demonstrated the potential of integration of natural tools for managing Sclerotinia
rot of mustard. Chattopadhyay et al. (2005) reported garlic bulb extract- a letter choice than
chemical fungicides in oilseed crop diseases. They elaborated that Sclerotinia rot of Indian
mustard could be effectively tackled by seed treatment with 1% (w/v) garlic (allium sativum) bulb
extract, better when supplemented by foliar spray of same extract of flower initiation stage of the
crop. Ghasolia and Shivpuri (2005) tested fungal antagonists and found trichoderma virens as most
effective biological control agent in mustard. Under AICRPRM trials, incidence of Sclerotinia rot
was found lowest in seed treatment in garlic blb extract. However, highest seed yield (16%
increases over control) were recorded in combination of seed treatment and foliar spray with
trichoderma harzianum (AICRPRM, 2006).
Pathak et al. (2002) screened 121 genotypes and found four genotypes and found four genotypes
viz., PCR 10, RW 9401 and RGN 80006 consistently promising against stem rot disease during the
four season i.e. 1996 to 2000. Ghasolia and Shivpuri(2005) found that out of 32
genotypes/varieties screened for resistance against Sclerotinia stem rot for three consecutive
cropping season eight i.e. Hyola 401, PBN 9501, PWR 9541, Kiran, RH 9401, RH 492, RW 8410
and PWR 9511 showed resistant to moderately resistant reaction to S.sclerotiorum.
