| Summary: | Colletotrichum gleosporioides is known as the causal agent of anthracnose disease. Economic losses are reported
during postharvest where the disease incidence and severity was recorded as 90-98 % and 25-38 % respectively.
Colletotrichum spp. were isolated from lesions of infected Carica papaya L. that showing the typical anthracnose
disease symptoms in Besut, Terengganu, Malaysia. Three types of fungal cultures were obtained that are
identified as Colletotrichum sp., Fusarium sp. and Rhizoctonia sp. One of the fungal obtained was confirmed as
Colletotrichum gleosporioides based on conidial morphology and growth characteristics on PDA media. The pathogen
under study varied in its ability to grow under different environmental conditions. However, isolate preferred
temperature range of 20°C to 30°C for the growth on PDA media. C. gloeosporioides isolates grew well at pH
values within range of pH6 to pH 7. |
