Randomized trial confirms root rot caused by Fusarium fujikuroi in Fortunella hindsii, indicating a need for disease management strategies.

To identify and confirm the causative agent of root rot in Fortunella hindsii in Fujian Province, China.
Observation of disease symptoms in open field nurseries
Isolation of Fusarium fujikuroi from diseased samples
Pathogenicity testing with inoculation of seedlings
Field disease incidence was 9.1% with 87.5% incidence in inoculated seedlings
Fusarium fujikuroi reisolated from symptomatic seedlings
Molecular identification showed 100% identity with known Fusarium fujikuroi sequences
