Abstract
Phytophthora blight (PB) (Phytophthora drechsleri Tucker f. sp. cajani, Kannaiyan et al.) of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is a disease of endemic importance. Continuous rains and waterlogging in the seedling stage of the crop favour PB epidemics, resulting in up to 100% crop loss. Characteristic symptoms of the disease are water-soaked lesions on the leaves and slightly sunken lesions on stems and petioles. Lesions girdle the stem and the foliage dries up. The disease was first reported in 1968 at the research farm of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) by Williams et al. (1968). Later Kannaiyan et al. (1984) reported its widespread occurrence in several parts of India.
