Corynespora cassiicola: A fungal pathogen with diverse symptoms on Hevea rubber
Material type:
TextPublication details: Bulletin of the Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka 1999Description: 5-JanSubject(s): Summary: Lesions with railway track appearance (fish bone lesions) have been shown to be the characteristic symptom of Corynespora leaf fall disease on mature rubber plantations in many parts of world including Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Africa. However, during the past decade a great deal of variation in symptom production was noticed depending either on the maturity stage of the plant or type of the clone. These diverse symptoms are described with colour plates with the view of educating rubber growers to identify the disease in the field. This will facilitate them to bring any outbreaks of this disease in their plantations to our notice at the initial stages.
