“…It is also used in the manufacture of mint sweets and chocolates. In India, peppermint is grown throughout the year [2] and it is affected by several fungal diseases caused by Rhizoctonia solani [3], Verticillium dahliae [4], Collectotrichum cocodes [5], R. solani [6] and Sclerotium rolfsii [7]. Of these, collar rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint in the peppermint cultivation in Tamil Nadu.…”

Roving survey was conducted during 2011-2012 around Coimbatore, Dindigul, Erode, Hosur, Krishnagiri, Namakkal, Salem and Theni districts to assess the incidence of collar rot of peppermint. The maximum incidence of 32.33% was recorded in Therkupalayam village of Coimbatore District. The pathogen was isolated from infected samples and 8 Sclerotium rolfsii isolates were maintained. The level of pathogenicity of these isolates revealed that S. rolfsii (I 1 ) from Therkupalayam in Coimbatore District was the most virulent and caused higher levels of collar rot incidence (93.66%). An inoculum load of S. rolfsii at 5% to 1 kg of soil registered the maximum incidence of 92.66% collar rot of peppermint. Significantly higher per cent of wilting of 92.66% was recorded in plants at 20 days after emergence and it was found significantly more susceptible compared to rest of the treatments.

“…Cultivated peppermint mint, serves as a source of menthol, linanool, linalyl acetate, carvone and other aromatic compounds used in perfumery, flavoring, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. In India peppermint is grown throughout the year (Shukla et al, 1998) and it is affected by fungal diseases caused by Verticillium dahliae (Johnson and Santo, 2001), Colletotrichum cocodes (Johnson et al, 2002), Rhizoctonia bataticola (Kumar et al, 1997) and R. solani (Merin Babu, 2002). Among these fungal diseases, stem and stolon rot caused by R. solani is a major constraint in the peppermint cultivation in Tamil Nadu.…”

Five isolates of Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas fluorescens and four isolates of Bacillus subtilis were evaluated for their ability to control Rhizoctonia solani, the causal agent of stem and stolon rot of peppermint (Mentha piperita Lin.). Of the various isolates of T. viride, P. fluorescens and B. subtilis tested, TVUV10, PFMMP and BSG3 showed the maximum inhibition of mycelial growth of R. solani. Among these isolates, P. fluorescens, PFMMP recorded the highest inhibition zone against R. solani in vitro and was very effective in reducing disease incidence in greenhouse condition. The effective isolates were evaluated for their ability to induce defense related enzymes and chemicals in plants. Increased activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (PO), polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and total phenolics were recorded in the biocontrol agents pretreated peppermint plants challenged with R. solani. P. fluorescens isolate PFMMP recorded early and increased synthesis of all defense related enzymes and total phenol. Thus, the present study shows that application of biocontrol agents; induce defense related enzymes involved in phenyl propanoid pathway in addition to direct antagonism which collectively contribute for enhanced resistance against invasion of R. solani in M. piperita.
