Abstract
Anthracnose symptoms were observed on fruits and leaves of mango cv. Carabao at several locations in the Philippines. Single spore isolates were generated from affected leaves and fruits and identified as Colletotrichum asianum based on morphology and molecular analyses using several genes. Inoculation of C. asianum isolates onto healthy fruit of mango cv. Carabao resulted in the same symptoms as those observed initially. Koch’s postulates were satisfied after isolates made from symptomatic inoculated fruits were morphologically identical as the original isolates. This is the first proof of C. asianum as causal fungus of anthracnose in mango cv. Carabao in the Philippines.
