Abstract

AbstractFungal inflorescence rot of date palms, caused by Mauginiella scaettae, was detected at all four sites surveyed in Elx, SE Spain. There was a higher incidence of the disease in male than in female inflorescences. The pathogen responsible for the disease was isolated and identified as M. scaettae. Sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of this fungus demonstrated that it is close to Phaeosphaeria.
