ABSTRACT
Fusarium oxysporum, a soil-borne pathogen, is increasingly recognized as a significant threat to jute (Corchorus spp.) production in Bangladesh. This study aims to provide a comprehensive morphological characterization of this new jute pathogen. Detailed microscopic analyses were conducted to elucidate the morphological features of F. oxysporum isolates collected from diseased jute plants in various regions. Key morphological traits, including mycelial structure, and conidial morphology, were documented. The findings revealed distinct morphological clues that can help the rapid identification of F. oxysporum affecting the jute. The results of this study provide insight on the morphology of F. oxysporum and lay the foundation for the development of targeted disease management strategies in jute.
Key words: Fusarium oxysporum, jute, fusarium wilt, macroconidia, microconidia, chlamydospores
