Aspergillus welwitschiae(ASPEWE)

Overview
Code created in: 2025-11-04

Basic information
  • EPPO Code: ASPEWE
  • Preferred name: Aspergillus welwitschiae
  • Authority: (Bresadola) Hennings

Notes

Bian et al. (2022) considered A. weltwitschiae as a synonym of A. niger. This has not been widely accepted since, and A. welwitschiae is widely used in relation to sisal bole rot. The taxonomic status of A. welwitschiae is still unclear according to Steewyk et al. (2024). Consequently, a distinct code was left in EPPO Global Database (2025-11).
