Diseases of capsicum act as the major limiting factors to its economic production. Recently, the stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is becoming severe disease of capsicum in India. Hence, to get a preliminary idea regarding the incidence level and pattern of prevalence of the disease in Southern region of Karnataka, a roving survey was conducted during the cropping seasons in the major capsicum growing areas of Bengaluru rural, Chikkaballapur and Kolar districts during kharif and rabi 2018-2019. The disease incidence ranged from 0.00 to 06.00 per cent in both open and protected conditions. Among the three districts surveyed, Harati village in Kolar district showed maximum disease incidence of 06.00 per cent in the hybrid Indra. As observed in survey, the crop was prone to the disease at the seedling and flowering stage along with the availability of large amount of moisture.
