Red Pepper Anthracnose: Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, It`s Cultural Variations and Pathogenicity

Jin Hyun Im, Soon Gu Lee

Abstract

The dominant isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from the red pepper anthracnose(both of the diseased plants and debris) was more pathogenic than the isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum of minorly isolated from Gyeong-buk, Korea. There were both of the G and R strains of cultural variants of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, the G strain was more pathogenic than R strain. The cultivars of red-pepper, cv. ``Kumsegi`` was the most susceptible and cv. ``papet`` was the least susceptible in the pathogenicity test. The isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from other host plant such on sesame, safflower, yam, strawberry could infect to the red pepper plant also.

Key Words: Anthracnose, Coletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Pathogenicity test
