Abstract
Pods of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L Moench) ‘BARI Dherosh-1ʹ cultivated in a farmer’s field in Gazipur District, Bangladesh, were found rotted in December 2014. A fungus having fluffy mycelium and large sclerotia was isolated from affected pods. Combined results of morphological, molecular and pathological analyses identified the fungus as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib) de Bary. Inoculating the fungus on healthy okra pods reproduced the symptoms previously observed in the field. This is the first report of S. sclerotiorum causing disease of okra in Bangladesh.
