Abstract
In 2002, a stem rot disease was found on Pansy (Viola tricolor) in several road-side flower beds in Jinju City, Gyeongnam province, Korea. The typical symptoms of the disease were stem rot, crown rot, wilt or blight. Upper parts of the infected stems were mostly blighted. White mycelial mats were spread over lesions and the sclerotia were farmed on the stems near soil line. The sclerotia was globoid or irregular in shape, 1.3~4.2 mm in size, and brown in color, The optimum temperature for fungal growth was about 3$0^{\circ}C$. The typical clamp connections were found in the hyphae of the fungus grown on PDA, and hyphal diameter was 3.9~10.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. On the basis of mycological characteristics and pathogenecity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Sclerotium rolfsii. This is the first report on the stem rot of Viola tricolor caused by Sclerotium rolfsii in Korea.
