Ck. Jayasinghe et Thps. Fernando, Growth at different temperatures and on fungicide amended media: Two characteristics to distinguish Colletotrichum species pathogenic to rubber, MYCOPATHOLO, 143(2), 1998, pp. 93-95
Slower growth at temperatures ranging from 15 to 32.5 degrees C and high to
lerance of three fungicides, benomyl, carbendazim and thio-phanate methyl,
were shown to be reliable characteristics in distinguishing rubber isolates
of Colletotrichum acutatum from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in addition
to the characteristics reported previously.
