Positive Pythium isolations were obtained in 1.02% of maggots of Mimegralla sp. collected from the field. From infected rhizomes, 42% showed Pythium alone and 58% showed Pythium and maggots and never maggots alone. Both the species were capable of subterranean movement. A crude ginger extract had an attractant effect on the maggots.enrhizome rotgingerdipteran maggotsArticle
