First report of Glomerella acutata on strawberry in Bulgaria

Symptoms typical of Glomerella acutata (anamorph Colletotrichum acutatum) (EU Annex II/A2) were observed. G. acutata was identified in the laboratory based on morphology, inoculation studies and species-specific PCR amplification. This is the first report of G. acutata in Bulgaria.
