Abstract
Brown rot disease of Plum (Prunus salicina) was prevalent year-round, peaking in May, with symptoms of brown rot on plum fruits. The pathogen, isolated in May 2023–2024 in New Delhi, India, was identified as Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae through morphological and phylogenetic characterization. This is the first report of L.pseudotheobromae causing brown rot on Plum in India.
