ABSTRACT
Ramakrishnan (1949) reported the occurrence of Pythium vexans on several hosts including ginger growing at elevations of over 915 m. The aerial shoots of ginger were found to turn yellow and wilt and rhizomes were rotten. The sysmptoms caused by the pathogen were similar to those of P. aphanidermatum and P. myriotylum, occurring at lower elevations, known as damaging agents to the crop. Besides, 50 to 90% of stored seed rhizomes are destroyed by the destructive pathogens if untreated.
