A new wilt disease of papaya (Carica papaya L.) was found to be caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum E. F. Smith. The symptoms consist of epinasty and yellowing of lower leaves followed by upper leaves, and defoliation. The root system is extensively damaged due to rotting. It is believed that this is the first record of the disease.
