First report of Bipolaris leaf blight of coconut (Cocos nucifera) caused by Bipolaris incurvata in mainland India
Plant Pathology 55 (4), 579-579
Abstract: A new leaf blight disease was observed on 6-10 year old coconut palms in Tamil Nadu, India. A fungus was consistently isolated from diseased leaves which was identified as Bipolaris incurvata based on morphological characteristics. The pathogenicity of the isolated fungus was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
