| Abstract:
A new post-harvest disease of mango (Mangiferae indica L.) has been recurrently observed in Bangalore. Fruits are infected during storage. The infection is also noticed on leaves throughout the year which probably acts as source of primary infection for fruits. The latent infection carried on mature fruits subsequently develops into post-harvest decay during storage. The pathogen was identified as Pestalotiopsis glandicola (Cast) Stey which is distinct from Pestalotiopsis mangiferae (P. Hen) Stey. | |
