The Gayo Highlands is an Arabica coffee-producing area known for its Gayo coffee, located in the districts of Central Aceh and Bener Meriah. The problem with coffee plant cultivation in this area is the infestation of white root disease (WRD). The study aimed to identify the symptom and pathogens that cause WRD on Arabica coffee plants in the Gayo highland area. The research activities were field surveys and laboratory observation during 2020-2022. The field survey was performed to collect root and soil samples; observe the symptom and transmission of the disease; as well as information on the shade tree types, cultivation technique, climate, soil type, and ph in three villages, Rimba Raya and Sepeden Village, Bener Meriah District (900 and 1500 m asl) and Lelabu Village, Aceh Tengah District (1300 m asl). Isolation and identification of pathogens were conducted in the laboratory, continued with the Postulate Koch test to the coffee seedling in the glasshouse. The result showed that the WRD in Gayo coffee has widely transmitted with severity levels of 16,67-48,33%. The early symptom of WRD is yellowish leaves and falling out, the deciduous plant then dead. The mycelia or rhizomorphs of the fungi are white to yellowish and tightly stick on the root surface. The Postulate Koch test result on coffee seedlings and identification of pathogen showed that the WRD was caused by Rigidoporus microporus. Referred to the high distribution, disease incidence, and supported agroecosystem conditions, it is advisable to immediately take disease control activities in the field. Keywords: Gayo highlands, symptoms of white root disease, disease distribution pattern, Rigidoporus microporus Abstrak Dataran tinggi Gayo di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah dan Bener Meriah merupakan daerah penghasil kopi Arabika yang terkenal dengan kopi Gayo. Salah satu kendala dalam budi daya tanaman kopi Gayo adalah serangan penyakit jamur akar putih (JAP). Tujuan penelitan adalah untuk mengidentifikasi gejala dan penyebab penyakit JAP pada tanaman kopi Arabika di dataran tinggi Gayo (Aceh Tengah dan Bener Meriah). Kegiatan penelitian adalah survei lapangan dan penelitian laboratorium pada tahun 2020-2022. Survei lapangan dilakukan untuk mengambil sampel akar dan tanah; mengamati gejala dan sebaran penyakit; serta informasi tentang jenis tanaman penaung, teknik budi daya, iklim, jenis, dan pH tanah. Penelitian dilakukan di tiga desa, yaitu Desa Rimba Raya dan Sepeden, Kabupaten Bener Meriah (900 dan 1500 m dpl), serta Desa Lelabu, Kecamatan Bebesan, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah (1300 m dpl). Isolasi dan identifikasi patogen dilakukan di laboratorium, dilanjutkan dengan uji Postulat Koch pada bibit kopi di rumah kaca. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyakit JAP pada kopi Gayo telah meluas dengan tingkat keparahan 16,67-48,33%. Gejala penyakit JAP adalah daun menguning kemudian rontok, tanaman meranggas dan mati. Miselia atau rhizomorf jamur berwarna putih sampai kekuningan menempel kuat pada permukaan akar. Akar-akar serabut membusuk sehingga tersisa hanya akar tunggang dan primernya. Penularan penyakit JAP di lapangan menunjukkan pola kontak akar. Hasil uji Postulat Koch pada bibit kopi dan identifikasi patogen menunjukkan bahwa penyakit jamur akar putih disebabkan oleh Rigidoporus microporus. Sebaran dan kejadian penyakit yang cukup tinggi, serta kondisi agroekosistem yang mendukung maka perlu segera dilakukan tindakan pengendalian penyakit di lapangan.
