Abstract

A new leaf spot of sugar beet was detected in Tokoro-cho, Hokkaido in late July 1974. The disease was restricted to the sugar beet plants adjacent to garlic fields where garlic tip blight occurred severely. The causal fungus was identified as Pleospora herbarum (Fries) Rabenhorst (anamorph: Stemphylium botryosum Wallroth), and the name of “Stemphylium leaf snot” of sugar beet was proposed for this disease.
