Abstract

This study aims at identifying the pathogen causing sweet potato wilt in Binh Tan district, Vinh Long province of Vietnam using morphological characterization, Koch’s postulates and sequencing the ITS region amplified by primer set ITS1/ITS4. A total of seven fungal isolates were obtained from 14 infected stem samples collected from Binh Tan district. Based on morphological characterization, two isolates CD3 and CD5 were classified into the Fusarium genus, one of the major plant pathogen genera causing wilt diseases. CD5 exhibited typical wilt symptoms using Koch’s postulates and was identified as Fusarium solani based on its ITS sequence. This result serves as a basis for further studies on disease management.
