A twig canker disease of Terminalia arjuna caused by Fusarium solani has been found to cause damage to the trees in avenue and roadside plantations at New Delhi. The disease has been studied in detail working out the causal organism and establishing its pathogenicity. Benomyl followed by Tagcop were found most effective in suppressing the growth of pathogen in vitro.
