Superelongation disease, caused by Elsinoe brasiliensis, confirmed on cassava in Trinidad and Tobago
Plant Pathology 58 (4), 800-800
Abstract: During 2007, cassava (Manihot esculenta) plants grown in Trinidad and Tobago were observed with symptoms of raised, pale, tan-coloured corky lesions on the petioles and midribs of leaves and stems. The fungus Elsinoe brasiliensis was isolated from the diseased plants. The identification was based on morphological characteristics. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation and re-isolation.
