A surveillance survey for lentil anthracnose in Victorian lentil crops using high throughput PCR testing
Australasian Plant Disease Notes 7 (1), 177-180
Abstract: Lentil anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum truncatum sensu lato, poses a serious threat to the Australian lentil industry, and is ranked by Plant Health Australia as the highest exotic fungal threat to lentil. This is the first report of PCR used as a specific, sensitive and rapid test in a field surveillance survey for lentil anthracnose (C. truncatum sensu lato) in the lentil growing areas of Victoria.
