Abstract

Sclerotinia blight, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is reported from Quang Nam Province, Vietnam, for the first time. The disease is common in cool wet winter and spring seasons on dwarf and climbing beans, peanuts and occasionally on chilli plants. A serious epidemic occurred in peanuts in some communes in spring 2008, following a period of cool wet weather after the crop canopy had closed and when flowering was well advanced.
