| Bayoud disease |
| Common Names: | fusarium wilt of date palm
tracheomycosis of date palm |
| Hosts: | date palm |
| Causal Agents: | Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis |
| Eppo Codes: | FUSSAL |

Bayoud disease is an epiphytic fungal disease of date palm.[1] [2] The pathogen responsible for the disease is Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis.[3] [4] [5]
The disease was first reported from Morocco in 1870. The word "bayoud" is derived from the Arabic abiadh ("white"), and is a reference to the whitish discoloration of diseased fronds.[1]
