First report of Septoria leaf spot of lavandin caused by Septoria lavandulae in Croatia
Plant Disease 98 (2), 282-282
Abstract: During 2012, lavandin plants (Lavandula × intermedia) grown in Croatia were observed with symptoms of small, oval to irregular, grayish brown lesions, resulting in yellowing, necrosis and premature defoliation. Similar necrotic oval-shaped lesions were observed on stems as well. The fungus Septoria lavandulae was isolated from the diseased plants. The identification was based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence analysis. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
