The Bakanae disease caused by Gibberella fujikuroi species complex is one of the major fungal diseases of rice. It is present in the major rice production areas in the world. In 2016, field surveys were conducted from rice germination to maturity. Four isolates of Fusarium proliferatum associated with Bakanae disease were obtained from infected rice plants and identified using morphological and molecular-based methods. Pathogenicity tests were carried on susceptible rice variety. Initially, pale green to yellowing of leaves and thinner plants were observed. Then, these plants turned brownish and died, while control plants showed no symptoms. All isolates were found to be pathogenic. The disease severity values ranged from 27 to 66%. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the presence of F. proliferatum causing Bakanae disease on rice in Turkey.

富士赤霉菌种复合物引起的巴卡内病是水稻的主要真菌病之一。它存在于世界主要水稻生产地区。2016年，从水稻发芽到成熟进行了实地调查。四种镰刀菌与巴卡那病相关的疾病是从受感染的水稻植株中获得的，并使用基于形态学和分子学的方法进行鉴定。对易感水稻品种进行了致病性测试。最初，观察到淡绿色至泛黄的叶子和较薄的植物。然后，这些植物变成褐色并死亡，而对照植物没有任何症状。发现所有分离株都是致病的。该疾病的严重程度范围为27％至66％。据我们所知，这是存在的第一次报告F. proliferatum水稻在土耳其引起恶苗病。
