Abstract
Fusarium oxysporum was recorded for the first time on Thuja orientalis trees in the Mysore University campus during 2006–07. Thuja trees are important because of their antifungal and antibacterial properties. The fungus was isolated from the wilted plant parts and subsequent reinoculation of the same to healthy plants confirmed the pathogen as the causal organism.
