Abstract

AbstractIn 2000, in the Jiroft region, south‐eastern Iran, a fungus subsequently identified as Nattrassia mangiferae was isolated from both Ficus religiosa, which showed branch die‐back and elongated cankers in trunks, and Psidium guajava (guava) trees, which showed branch die‐back. The pathogenicity of the fungus was demonstrated by fulfilling Koch's postulates. These diseases are a potential threat to the citrus industry and P. guajava production in the region. This is the first report of N. mangiferae inciting die‐back and trunk cankers on F. religiosa and die‐back on P. guajava.
