Teak (Tectona grandis) is indigenous to India, Burma, Thailand, Indonesia and many other islands in the Far East (Bakshi 1976). The species has been widely planted in this country. A large number of teak seedlings are being raised every year. From the Forest Range Nurseries of Khaskhali, Bakkhali, Chunati and Idgah, death of 3 months’ old seedlings were reported to the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute. In the nurseries of Bakkhali and Khaskhali, the percentage of mortality of teak seedlings was about 35 and 80 respectively. Khaskhali was the worst affected of all the reported nurseries. In Napithkhali, wilting killed 50% of the seedlings raised in 18 beds. The lower leaves died first and then the upper ones followed. Information of this disease also came from Ultachari in 1985, Taktanala in 1986 and Farua in 1988.
