Abstract:
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the important vegetable species grown in Kyrgyzstan. In 2019, approximately 4% of mature pepper plants showed root rot symptoms in three fields located in Bishkek city. Symptomatic segments excised from necrotic lesions on root were surface sterilized with 1% NaOCl, washed twice in sterilized water, blotted on sterile filter paper, and plated on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) amended with streptomycin sulfate.
