Abstract

Noni, an important medicinal plant grown in southern India suffered heavy loss due to anthracnose disease in 2008–2009. Based on their pathogenicity, morphological and cultural characters and ribosomal DNA spacer sequences, the pathogen was identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. This is the first report of anthracnose on noni in India.
