Acrophialophora wilt of gram (Cicer arietinum) and its characteristic features have been observed in India. A. fusispora and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris cause a wilt disease of the Fusarium-susceptible gram cultivar JG-62 but not of the resistant cultivar BG-212. The presence of both pathogens caused wilt to develop in BG-212, however.
