Abstract: The red stele root rot of strawberry is caused by infection of Phytophthora fragaria with strong host specificity. Its incidence is increasing year by year,especially the strawberries in the whole continuous cropping field might be destroyed if serious red stele root rot would erupt,which has become one of the main challenges in strawberry production. This article reviews the recent knowledge of red stele root rot,including its discovery,hazards,biology and molecular detection methods of pathogens,the characteristics,and control methods. Finally,the prospects are forecasted to provide some references and theoretical basis for further study.

Key words: strawberry, red stele root rot, Phytophthora fragaria, disease control
