First report of Colletotrichum chrysophilum causing cassava anthracnose in Brazil
Plant Disease 105 (4), 1196-1196
Abstract: During 2019, cassava plants (Manihot esculenta) grown in the states of Pará and Tocantins were observed with anthracnose symptoms. Lesions were dark brown spots of different sizes and irregular borders covering about 32% of foliar area. The fungus Colletotrichum chrysophilum 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.
