摘要

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is extensively cultivated across Türkiye, with a total annual production reaching 175.870 tons highlighting its significance as both a staple food crop and a commercially valuable commodity in domestic and international markets. Survey and isolation studies were conducted during the 2022–2024 growing seasons in three provinces. Morphological and molecular characterization (tef1-α and RPB2 regions) confirmed the presence of F. acuminatum in 7 of 15 isolates obtained from symptomatic plants. Pathogenicity was verified through artificial inoculation, and significant differences in disease incidence were observed among isolates from different regions. This study presents the first confirmed report of F. acuminatum as a causal agent of basal root rot in garlic in Türkiye.
