To isolate and identify pathogen of the seedling blight occurred in Platycodon grandiflorum. The morphological observation, rDNA ITS sequence analysis, and Koch's postulates were used to identify the isolates of the causal agent. The isolates of the causal agent was Rhizoctonia solani. The result confirmed that R. solani is the pathogen of seedling blight of P. grandiflorum.
