Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-1 was recorded in Central Italy on kohlrabi pl
ants showing root and stem rot. After artificial inoculation the fungu
s caused damping-off of 7-day-old seedlings and root and stem rot of 4
-month-old plants developed after 15 days of incubation. This seems to
be the first record of R. solani AG 2-1 on kohlrabi.
