Pj. Reed et al., OCCURRENCE OF ANTHRACNOSE (COLLETOTRICHUM-ACUTATUM) ON ORNAMENTAL LUPIN IN THE UNITED-KINGDOM, Plant Pathology, 45(2), 1996, pp. 245-248
The first recorded outbreak of anthracnose (Colletotrichum acutatum) o
n ornamental lupin in the United Kingdom occurred in 1989. Seedborne i
nfection by Colletotrichum acutatum was investigated after seed was im
plicated in the origin of the outbreaks and infection was found on see
d of three of 14 cultivars tested. In pathogenicity tests, typical ant
hracnose symptoms developed only on plants of Lupinus spp; there were
slight symptoms on Pisum sativum, Vicia sativa and Lathyrus odoratus,
but none on Vicia faba, Phaseolus coccineus, P. vulgaris and Onobrychi
s viciifolia.
