Improved, highyielding cultivars under good management tend to be very susceptible to the disease. M. phaseolina is a common soilborne, nonaggressive, and plurivorous pathogen that attacks plants whose vigor has been reduced by unfavorable growing conditions. Drought stress is the primary factor that predisposes sorghum to charcoal rot. In diseased roots and stalks, M. phaseolina is often associated with other fungi, suggesting that the disease is of complex etiology. Control by fungicides, cultural practices, and host resistance are briefly discussed, and priority areas for future research are listed. 1983 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://oar.icrisat.org/4135/1/CP_179.pdf Mughogho, L K and Pande, S (1983) Charcoal Rot of Sorghum.
