Abstract

Recently leaf and stem blight disease was observed onEuphorbia geniculata Orteg. The pathogen was isolated in pure culture and identified asCochliobolus carbonum Nelson (anamorph:Bipolaris zeicola (Stout) Shoem. =Helminthosporium carbonum Ullstrup). This is the first record of this fungus causing leaf and stem blight disease onE. geniculata. In a greenhouse study, none of 19 other plant species tested showed pathogenic reactions. The specific host range and highly virulent nature ofB. zeicola onE. geniculata indicated that this pathogen has potential for use as a biocontrol agent forE. geniculata.
