Fusarium wilt is a common vascular wilt fungal disease, exhibiting symptoms similar to Verticillium wilt. This disease has been investigated extensively since the early years of this century. The pathogen that causes Fusarium wilt is Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum). [1] The species is further divided into formae speciales based on host plant.
Bayoud disease is an epiphytic fungal disease of date palm. [1] [2] The pathogen responsible for the disease is Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis. [3] [4] [5] The disease was first reported from Morocco in 1870. The word "bayoud" is derived from the Arabic abiadh ("white"), and is a reference to the whitish discoloration of diseased fronds. [1]
A wilt disease is any number of diseases that affect the vascular system of plants. Attacks by fungi , bacteria , and nematodes can cause rapid killing of plants, large tree branches or even entire trees.
A tag-team effort from a destructive beetle known as the South American palm weevil and a fungus called Fusarium is reportedly killing the palm trees.

Fusarium oxysporum has multiple formae speciales each assigned to a particular host. [1] Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. betae is very host specific to sugar beet. [1] The disease that this pathogen causes is fusarium yellows or fusarium wilt. [2] Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. betae is a type of fungus whose spores survive in the soil. [2]
These diverse and adaptable fungi have been found in soils ranging from the Sonoran Desert, to tropical and temperate forest, grasslands and soils of the tundra. [10] F. oxysporum strains are ubiquitous soil inhabitants that have the ability to exist as saprophytes, and degrade lignin [11] [12] and complex carbohydrates [13] [14] [1] associated with soil debris.
Fusarium oxysporum is the cause of fusarium wilt disease and Moniliophthora roreri, which causes frosty pod rot disease of cacao, are hemibiotrophs that affect many agricultural and floricultural crops worldwide [14] [15] [16]
