In June 2020, wilting, extensive stem and leaf blight or necrosis were observed in two-year-old lavender plants cultivated in the experimental fields of the GAP Agricultural Research Institute, Şanlıurfa, Turkey. Disease incidence was up to 15%. A putative Botryosphaeriaceae species was consistently isolated from the necrotic stem and leaf tissues plated onto potato dextrose agar (PDA).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLavandula AngustifoliaNeoscytalidium DimidiatumBlightArthroconidiaLavenderEditorial10.1007/s42161-021-00917-y1034134713482-s2.0-85111505032Q2WOS:000678554000001Q2
