Thirty fungal isolates identified from Hevea brasiliensis, with four confirmed as pathogenic.
Botryosphaeriaceae, Fusarium equiseti, and other families noted for their role in causing damage.
Pathogenicity testing demonstrated significant necrotic lesions caused by Fusarium equiseti and Nigrospora sphaerica.
Effective identification of pathogens can support management strategies, crucial for plantation health.
