First report of Myrothecium leaf spot caused by Myrothecium roridum on pepper in the United States
Plant Disease 102 (1), 246-246
Abstract: During 2015, pepper plants (Capsicum annuum) grown in Georgia, U.S.A. were observed with leaf spot symptoms. Infected foliage displayed round to oblong, dark brown lesions with distinct concentric rings (8 to 10 mm in diameter). Discoloration of the stem was also observed. Approximately 5% of a 0.5-ha field was symptomatic. The fungus Myrothecium roridum 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.
