This study was carried out to identify the pathogens and determine the seasonal occurrence of major diseases of cut flowers growing in subalphine regions in Unbong, Jeonbuk in 2005 and 2006. Disease including phytophthora root rot, stem rot, fusarium wilt and powdery mildew occurred in Gypsophila paniculata. In G. paniculata, fusarium wilt has occurred from late April to May and phytophthora root rot was begun from early June in 2006 and increased until harvesting the flowers, especially rapidly after rainfall during June to August. Statice diseases were anthracnose, gray mold, phytophthora root rot, stem rot and alternaria leaf spot. In phytophthora root rot and stem rot of G. paniculata and statice, the rate of disease incidence was higher the overwintered field than in the newly-planted field, and the rate increased significantly with the increase of the successive cropping system.
