Malabar spinach (Basella alba L.) belongs to the family Basellaceae, which is native to
Southeast Asia. It is widely cultivated as a perennial leafy vegetable in India. The leaves are
rich sources of vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, soluble 􀃒ber, and protein per calorie. It
possesses immense potential in androgenic and nephroprotective activity, antioxidant and
antibacterial activity, anti-in􀃓ammatory activity, and central nervous system depressant
activity (Kumar et al. 2013). During the period of August to October 2016, plants were
observed with charcoal rot symptoms at the research farm of ICAR–Indian Institute of
Vegetable Research and in six farmers’ 􀃒elds ranging in size from 200 to 1,000 m in
Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The symptoms, observed on 30 to 40% of the
plants, consisted of brownish to black discoloration at the collar region of the stem and
branches that progressed into wilting and drying of the entire plant. Infected plant stems
appeared shredded and contained black microsclerotia.
