Glomerella acutata found on strawberry in China
In 2004, strawberry fruits (Fragaria x ananassa cv. ‘Mei’) showing dark and sunken necrotic lesions were observed in a field in Shanghai, China. The cause was identified as Glomerella acutata (anamorph Colletotrichum acutatum – EU Annexes). According to the authors, this is the first time that G. acutata causing anthracnose fruit rot of strawberry has been reported in China.
