In 2019, wilting and death of c. 20% of plants were observed in pepper fields in Şanlıurfa province, Turkey (Fig. 1). Severe root and crown rot symptoms with discoloration were observed on affected plants, and necrotic lesions expanded rapidly into the stems which killed the plant (Fig. 2).en10.5197/j.2044-0588.2020.041.036info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCapsicum annuum, oomycetes, Pythium heterothallicumArticle4113636N/A2-s2.0-85106259021
