Abstract
A disease similar to southern blight has been occurring on Farfugium japonicum (L.) Kitam. in fields and gardens in Nagasaki Prefecture since 2003. Fungi similar to Sclerotium rolfsii Saccardo, which is the causal fungus of southern blight, were consistently isolated from collar rot lesions of F japonicum. The isolates were identified as S. rolfsii based on mycelial growth, colony color, sclerotia formation, and pathogenicity against F japonicum. It is proposed that this disease should be referred to as the southern blight of F. japonicum.
