abstract: Charcoal rot of sorghum causedby the fungus ~acrophorfdnap haseolina is a root andstalk rot
disease of great destructive potential in most sorghum-growing regions. 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.
