Abstract
Colletotrichum gloeosporoides has been described as the causal agent of Colletotrichum leaf disease of rubber in Sri Lanka and other parts of the world since 1905. A study carried out on vegetative and reproductive characteristics of 52 isolates from Colletotrichum leaf disease lesions on Hevea brasiliensis in Sri Lanka revealed that only 18 isolates belong to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The remaining 34 isolates represented C. aculatum indicating that C. acutatum is the main cause of Colletotrichum leaf disease in Sri Lanka.Entities:
