Abstract

Anthracnose was occurred on black raspberry (Rubus coreanus) grown at Gochang areas of Korea during the period of 2003?2009. Black raspberry was afflicted by anthracnose with initial lesion of dark brown circular spots on the naturally infected stems and petioles. The irregular spots was either fused or progressed into circular or elliptical shape. The causal fungi of anthracnose were isolated from the diseased plants and identified as Colltotrichum gloeosporioides, C. coccodes and C. acutatum based on the morphological and cultural characteristics. All isolates of C. gloeosporioides, C. coccodes and C. acutatum produced similar symptoms under pathogenic examination through artificial inoculation.

Key Words: Anthracnose, Black raspberry, Colletotrichum acutatum, C. coccodes, C. gloeosporioides
