Fusarium dry root rot is one of the most dangerous diseases of citrus in Turkey. Since December 2015, a devastating decline has caused light purple, vascular discolorations, and dry decay of fibrous roots in some citrus orchards. Cream-colored colonies produced ovoid, ellipsoid or reniform, 1-2-celled microconidia. Macroconidia were 3-5 septate, hyaline, straight, or slightly curved. Chlamydospores were produced from mycelium in intercalary or terminal chains. The fungus was identified as Fusarium solani by sequencing of the ITS and tef-1 alpha nucleotides, pathogenicity assay and MALDI-TOF MS. In pathogenicity tests on 'Okitsu', 20 isolates of Fusarium spp. caused typical root rot.
