First report of Cucurbidothis pithyophila on Dracena fragrans L. from India.

摘要

During a routine survey for collection of microfungi, leaves of D. fragrans growing in the garden of Botanical Survey of India in Pune (Maharashtra, India) were found heavily infested with fungal loads. On the basis of morphological characters, the fungus was identified as C. pithyophila. This is thought to be the first generic record for Maharashtra and a new host record for India.
