The occurrence of Fusarium oxysporum on Phoenix canariensis, a potential danger to date production in California
Fusarium oxysporum, in association with Gliocladium vermoeseni, causes a disease complex called wilt and dieback on Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island palm) in California. Both fungi were pathogenic, by stem injection, singly and in combination to P. dactylifera (date palm). F. oxysporum also infected date palm seedlings through roots. The symptoms of wilt and dieback are similar to those of bayoud of P. dactylifera, an important disease found in North Africa, and caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. albedinis. Our work showed that the pathogens, especially F. oxysporum, were potential pathogens of P. dactylifera, and consequently the California Department of Food and Agriculture established a quarantine in an affort to prevent their being introduced into date-growing areas in California
