Abstract
Damping-off of black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) seedlings was observed in Kyoto Prefecture in 2018. Fungal-like isolates were readily obtained from infected parts of tubers. These isolates caused similar symptoms after a soil drench of potted plants with individual isolates, which were identified as Pythium myriotylum based on morphological characteristics and sequences of rDNA ITS regions and coxI gene. This is the first report of a disease of black ginger caused by P. myriotylum in Japan, and we propose the Japanese name “tachigare-byou” (damping-off) of black ginger.
