AB  - The study of pathogens associated with the rot of citrus fruits in some parts of South Eastern Nigeria presented four pathogens identified as <I>Phytophthora citrophthora</I> (<I>Butler</I>), <I>Fusarium oxysporum schlecht</I>, <I>Fusarium equiseti </I>(<I>Corda</I>) Sacc and <I>Botryodiplodia theobromae</I> (pat). The study showed that the rot caused by <I>B. theobromae</I> was more severe, followed by <I>P. citrophthora </I>rot, <I>F. oxysporum </I>rot and <I>F. equiseti </I>rot. Some disease control measures were recommended.
