Blueberry is a relatively new crop cultivated in the provinces of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Río Negro and Santa Fe (AR). In 1996, an unknown disease was observed. Plants ready to be planted near Buenos Aires and plants growing in a glasshouse in Buenos Aires, both imported from USA, had their stems blighted. Pestalotiopsis guepini and Glomerella cingulata were determined as causal agents of the symptoms.
