The invention discloses a primer for diagnosing mulberry blight. The base sequence of the upstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, and the base sequence of the downstream primer is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. The invention also discloses a method for diagnosing bacterial wilt by using the primer, which comprises the following steps: peeling and chopping the mulberry roots sterilized on the surface, placing them in sterile water, and centrifugally oscillating to prepare an aqueous suspension, and The aqueous suspension is used as a template, and the primers are used to carry out PCR amplification, and the amplified product is separated by gel electrophoresis and developed with an indicator. If there is a DNA band on the gel, the mulberry tree is infected with bacterial wilt, such as If there is no DNA band, the mulberry tree is not infected with bacterial wilt. The invented primer has high specificity, and the detection period of the mulberry bacterial wilt is short by using the primer, which saves more than 90% of the time compared with the conventional method, and has high sensitivity and accuracy.
