Abstract: The incidence of stem disease occurring on pitaya was investigated in the plantation of the southwest region of Guizhou Province, and the corresponding pathogen was identified. The result showed that the stem disease incidence was about 10%-20%, and the pathogen was identified as Epicoccum nigrum with its microscopic observation and molecular identification. This was the first report of the hazard of Epicoccum nigrum on pitaya.
