Durian (Durio zibethinus L.) is a fruit with high economic value and is famous in Southeast Asia. Currently, the export value and its cultivated area has been continuously increasing year by year. In addition, the exchange and import of durian varieties with high yield and quality are promoted but this also creates unwanted consequences, specifically increasing the possibility of introducing foreign pests and also reducing the health of durian trees due to frequent chemical treatment. Especially, the symptoms of durian root rot and stem rot become a factor affecting the quality of this fruit. Especially when the demand for output increases sharply, the area expands uncontrollably and specialized growing areas are formed, this disease becomes more complicated and common. These are problems that significantly affect the health and productivity of the tree, creating an urgent need for comprehensive research on stem rot and root rot in durian trees. Research hopes to contribute to sustainable agricultural development, increasing productivity and minimizing damage from this disease.
