Occurrence of four disease of foliage viz. two leaf spots, one leaf blight and a web blight caused by Colletotrichum capsici, Cercospora subsessilis, Sderotium rolfsii and Rhizoctonia solani respectively and one each of stem (stem rot by S. rolfsii ) and root (wilt by Fusarium solani ) are reported for the first time on seedlings of Azadirachta indica from Kerala, India. Leaf spots though widespread did not cause much damage to seedlings, while the other diseases resulted in ca. 20–30 percent mortality, thus affecting the stocking.
