During disease surveys, dieback and decline symptoms were observed on trees without apparent blight and ink disease symptoms. Black necroses, similar to those caused by &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; infections, were noted on some of the chestnut coppices and saplings in one nursery in Ordu and led to an investigation into this disease complex. Only symptomatic plants showing dieback symptoms were investigated. Soil samples together with fine roots were collected from two directions, north and north-east, approximately 150&amp;nbsp;cm away from the main stems. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. were baited with young chestnut leaves. Three &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp., &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cambivora&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;plurivora,&lt;/em&gt; were identified from 12 soil samples collected from 73 locations, while from the nurseries, only &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; was obtained. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; was the most common species, obtained from seven locations in five provinces and from four nurseries having similar symptoms mentioned above in different locations. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cambivora&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;plurivora&lt;/em&gt; were less frequently obtained, from three to two stands, respectively. &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P.&amp;nbsp;cambivora&lt;/em&gt; were the most aggressive species when inoculated at the stem base on 3-year-old chestnut saplings, killing six saplings of eight inoculated in 2&amp;nbsp;months. The three &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; species were first recorded on chestnut in Black sea region of Turkey with the limited samples investigated in a large area about 150&amp;nbsp;000 ha chestnut forest.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
