Colletotrichum species are important plant pathogen fungi that cause significant crop
losses before and after harvest worldwide. It is known that three species of Colletotrichum are caused by Anthracnose
Disease in Strawberry. These are Colletotrichum fragariae A.N.Brooks, Colletotrichum
acutatum J.H.Simmonds, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
(Penz.)Penz.&Sacc.in Penz.(telemorph Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman)
Spauld.&H.Scherenk). Strawberry anthracnose symptoms caused by C. acutatum, C. fragariae and
C. gloeosporioides are similar, and all
three species of the plant leaves, stolon, flower, green and ripe fruits are
symptoms, and all
three species symptoms of leaves, stolon, flower green and ripe fruits are on the
plant. Strawberry
production is seen in all stages of the plant from seedling production from to
harvest period and seedling and crop losses. The pathogen has become widespread
on seedling material throughout the
world over the last two decades. This review covers detailed
information on the anthracnose diseases caused by Colletotrichum species in strawberries, disease cycle, and control
methods. The review was prepared to assist researchers studying on strawberry
diseases, extension services, strawberry farmers, and seedling producers.
