title: Growth at different temperatures and on fungicide amended media: two characteristics to distinguish Colletotrichum species pathogenic to rubber.
abstract: Slower growth at temperatures ranging from 15 to 32.5 degrees C and high tolerance of three fungicides, benomyl, carbendazim and thio-phanate methyl, were shown to be reliable characteristics in distinguishing rubber isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in addition to the characteristics reported previously.
