Hazelnut production is a fast growing production in Serbia lately. Bacterial diseases, resulting in premature dieback of plants in commercial orchards, are well known problem in countries with long hazelnut growing tradition. Consequently, it reduces the yield and quality of nuts, but in a long term it causes reduction of the exploitation period and serious economical loss. Last years, symptoms resembling those caused by bacteria, were observed in hazelnut orchards grown in Serbia. Due to low disease intensity and sporadic appearance bacterial diseases of hazelnut received no adequate attention from our plant pathologists and therefore were not studied in details. Aim of this paper is to point attention on economical importance of hazelnut bacterial diseases, their spread, characteristics of the pathogen, and factors contributing to the disease occurrence. Information on symptom differentiation and pathogen biology are important for accurate disease diagnosis and pathogen identification, which is ground for effective and timely protection strategy.
