Comparative Morphology and characterization of colletotrichum isolates occurring on Cocoa in Malaysia

Isolation from cocoa leaves showing symptoms of shot-hole, blight or irregular leaf spot and from cherelles and pod rot yielded Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. No distinct differences in cultural and morphological characteristics were noted between the various isolates. The fungus was found to gro...
