Abstract
First report of Robillarda sessilis associated with Anacardium occidentale and Beaucarnea recurvata leaf spots in Brazil
Highlights
Pathogenicity tests were performed by placing plugs (0.5 cm2) of a 10-day-old PCA culture of R. sessilis on leaves of cashew seedlings (Dwarf Clone CCP 76)
700,000 hectares are planted with this crop, giving employment to more than 100,000 people and providing an annual turn-over of 200 million dollars
Processed kernels are the principal commodity exported to the USA, Europe and Japan
Summary
Pathogenicity tests were performed by placing plugs (0.5 cm2) of a 10-day-old PCA culture of R. sessilis on leaves of cashew seedlings (Dwarf Clone CCP 76). Cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.) is a plant native to the Brazilian northeastern region and is one of the most important cash crops of this semi-arid region. 700,000 hectares are planted with this crop, giving employment to more than 100,000 people and providing an annual turn-over of 200 million dollars.
