Abstract

During a routine survey of nurseries and plantations of Xylia xylocarpa, Bombax ceiba [B. malabaricum], Terminalia bellerica, Azadirachta indica and Pterocarpus indicus at Peechi, in 1984, 3 pathogens causing leaf spot diseases were recorded. Identification and pathogenicity tests indicated that the diseases were caused by: the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides state of Glomerella cingulata on A. indica and T. belliricaG. cingulata on B. malabaricum and X. xylocarpaand Cylindrocladium quinqueseptatum [Calonectria quinqueseptata] on P. indicus. All of these are new host records
