Abstract

in Mauritius. As the sclerotia can remain in the soil for long periods of time (Arora and Khurana 2004) and with prevailing conditions of global warming, charcoal rot may be a threat for potatoes and other local crops (Somani et al. 2013). This study will sensitize agricultural extension officers on this new disease and calls for routine surveillance to safeguard this crop.
