Abstract: Stem rot is a most serious disease of rapeseed mustard. Earlier, it was considered as a minor disease and now, it has become a serious problem in recent years. Northern region of Madhya Pradesh jointly contributes >60% production of the rapeseed mustard. In search of the new botanicals, biological agents, animal byproducts and chemicals may lead to integrated management of the disease with no fluctuation of the environment. With view of resistance, there was no proven resistance in the brassica genotypes against the disease. Stem rot is a polyphagous and soil born nature, hence, the sclerotia can survival upto 5 years in the soil. The identified of the new genes in rapeseed mustard against this disease though advanced biotechnological approaches. With the view of the above points more need to do work in future on the mustard crop against Stem rot.
