: Samples, including fruit and pseudostem tissues from symptomatic plants, were collected from a local farmer’s plantation in Bali, Indonesia. The farmer is part of a community outreach program supported by our institution, and the collection was conducted within the scope of ongoing collaborative activities. The landowner provided informed verbal consent after being fully briefed on the purpose of the study, which involved diagnosis and identification of the causal agent of the disease. In accordance with common practice in Indonesia, such sampling for plant disease diagnostics is generally welcomed by farmers. The study involved non-destructive sampling on non-protected land and did not require special permits under current Indonesian regulations. Sampling and transport of plant material were inspected and approved by a plant quarantine office, ensuring compliance with national biosecurity and plant health regulations. All procedures followed institutional, national, and international ethical standards for plant research.
