Anthracnose disease of Manglietia conifera Dandy seedlings in nursery
December 16, 2010 by
Pham Quang Thu Forest Science Institute of Vietnam Manglietia connifera Dandy young seedlings in the nursery are often infected with anthracnose disease, with a very high disease incidence in low-light and too high soil moisture condition. The pathogen is determined by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc (anamorphic stage). Sexual stages (telemorph) of the fungus are Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Spald. & H. Schrenk being found on diseased leaves. … [Read more...]
