Anthracnose

Causal Agent: (fungus ‑ Colletotrichum orbiculare)

     The fungus produces sunken spots on the rind of fruit, that are often black because of the production of spores [wmd55.jpg]. Symptoms may not be visible at harvest, or they might be slight [wmd56.jpg],  but decay may develop further in transit or at the market. Small anthracnose spots can be confused with pimples disease.
