Abstract: A survey was conducted in major sesame growing areas of Western Rajasthan viz., Pipar city (Jodhpur), Sojat (Pali), Samdari (Barmer) and Kheenvsar (Nagaur) of Western Rajasthan during kharif 2020 to assess the incidence of stem and root rot diseases. The highest incidence of stem and root rot of sesame was observed in Sojat tehsil (32.74%) whereas, the minimum stem and root rot disease incidence was observed (15.18%) in Samdari tehsil. The overall average disease incidence of the Western Rajasthan was 26 per cent based on total 100 fields surveyed in kharif 2020.
Keywords: Survey, sesame, stem and root rot, disease incidence
