Postharvest fruit rot caused by Trichothecium roseum on tomato fruit is recorded for the first time in Argentina. The fungus was consistently isolated from diseased fruits and shown to be the causal agent according to Koch’s Postulates. Although the economic impact of the disease is minimal,T. roseum is known as a producer of mycotoxins. Therefore, its presence on vegetables and fruits decreases the quality of those food products and causes a risk to the consumers.
