Abstract
This is the first report of Alternaria alternata and Fusarium spp. causing brown apical necrosis (BAN) in walnut fruit in southern Chile. English walnut (Juglans regia L.) is the second most widely grown fruit in Chile. The bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis affects walnut production in Chile and has been associated with apical necrosis symptom and premature fruit drop; this research focused on determining if fungal pathogens were associated with this damage. The presence of BAN in commercial walnut orchards in southern Chile reveals the need for improved phytosanitary programs to control this disease.
