Abstract
Wilt of sea buckthorn plants (Hippophae salicifolia) caused by Fusarium spp. has recently emerged as a substantial hitch in dry temperate zone of Himachal Pradesh. In the present study, symptomatology, morphology as well as molecular markers based identification concluded the cause of sea buckthorn wilt as Fusarium sporotrichioides. The test pathogen showed 100% homology with other reported F. sporotrichioides isolates by rDNA analysis. This study on integration of morphological and microscopic methods along with PCR based identification could form the basis for routine diagnosis of the sea buckthorn wilt and these conclusions would be beneficial for sea buckthorn growers in the timely management of disease.
