April Pest of the Month: Anthracnose – Colletotrichum spp

by Levy Communications • NGI Updates

Anthracnose is a common nursery pathogen causing leaf spots and small water-soaked circular lesions on leaves, stems or fruit. With time, spots enlarge and become tan to dark brown or black in colour. Sometimes leaf spots may be surrounded by a bright yellow halo. Lesions may become sunken and produce concentric bands of tiny black fruiting bodies on the dead tissue in the centre of spots. Salmon-coloured spore masses may exude from fruiting bodies under conditions of high humidity. Symptoms caused by anthracnose tend to be very similar to those caused by a range of other symptoms.

Phytopythium is commonly found in production nurseries causing symptoms similar to Pythium, e.g. pre and post emergence damping off, lack of vigour, nutrient deficiency symptoms and root rot. Some species can cause dieback of woody nursery stock. More
