Phytopathologia Mediterranea 41 (2), 148-151
Abstract: In this note Cadophora malorum infections on asparagus plants cultivated in different localities in the Foggia area (southern Italy) are reported. Pathogenicity tests demostrated that C. malorum showed the capacity to infect healthy plants of asparagus even if this capacity is less pronounced than that of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. asparagi and F. proliferatum.
