ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF Colletotrichum gloeosporioides FROM CASHEW SEEDLINGS IN NURSERIES

摘要

The Causal Organism of anthracnose disease of Cashew seedlings was isolated from the diseased seedlings and identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Among the plant species tested, cashew showed the highest susceptibility to anthracnose disease followed by mango, citrus, annona and pomegranate. All the weeds tested were found to be susceptible to C. gloeosporioides.
