Abstract A description is provided for Pseudomonas oryzicola. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Oryza sativa. Khu (43, 1019) reports that it also attacks more than 30 other species of wild and cultivated Gramineae. DISEASE: Bacterial browning, brown spot, or brusone of rice. Greyish-green diffuse areas appear on the sheaths of the panicle; they turn brown, then reddish-brown, black and finally dry up and die. Panicles become infected as they emerge, while stems, seeds and, exceptionally, the leaves may be infected. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Hungary, E. and N.E. China (43, 736), and Japan (44, 2139; the name in the penultimate line of this abstract should be P. oryzicola). TRANSMISSION: No detailed information. Klement states that wet, windy weather favours spread, suggesting transmission in rain splashes.

Abstract A description is provided for Cochliobolus miyabeanus. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Oryza sativa and other species of Oryza. DISEASE: Brown spot and seedling blight of rice. Oval leaf spots up to 1 cm long, at first usually brown, sometimes purplish, later forming white to grey centres, spots may coalesce and leaves wither. Glumes may be spotted, becoming velvety with sporulation. Infected seed is shrivelled and discoloured; coleoptiles bear lesions which can also occur on the roots of seedlings. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread (CMI Map 92, ed. 3, 1966). Records not yet mapped: Angola, Cambodia, Chad, France (S.), French Polynesia, Hong Kong, Laos, Malawi, Nepal, Rhodesia. TRANSMISSION: Seed infection is important (mycelium remaining viable for up to 3 yr) and is probably responsible for most of the primary infection in young crops (9: 556; 34: 104). Grain is directly attacked and kernels in the flowering and milk stages are more susceptible than those in the soft dough and mature stages (45, 2834; 46, 317). Conidia are air-dispersed showing a diurnal periodicity with a max. in the late afternoon (43, 1017; 48, 3486).

Abstract A description is provided for Pyrenochaeta oryzae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOST: Oryza sativa. DISEASE: Sheath blotch of rice or known in Japanese as 'Yosho-kappanbyo' meaning sheath brown spot (Hashioka, 1972). The macroscopic symptoms are large brown lesions on leaf sheaths. At first lesions start from the margin of a sheath as dark brown oblong blotches which enlarge, become bluish-grey, finally covering the entire sheath. Lesions may reach up to 10 cm in length and often appear at the junction of sheath and leaf blade just below the collar without causing the collar to break. When dry the affected part of the sheath turns greyish-brown with or without distinct brown margins. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Sierra Leone, Swaziland); Asia (Burma, China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand); Australasia & Oceania (Fiji, Solomon Islands). TRANSMISSION: Presumably dispersed in the crop by splash-liberated conidia from infected leaf sheaths and glumes during wet weather. Lesions on leaves also appear at the site of oviposition of the green hopper, Nephotettix bipunctatus[Nephotettix virescens] (Hashioka, 1972).

Abstract A description is provided for Pestalotiopsis mangiferae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Mangifera indica; also on Anacardium occidentale, Combretum decandrum, Eucalyptus spp., Mimusops spp., Vitis vinifera and many other unrelated host plants. DISEASE: Grey leaf spot of Mangifera indica. The spots vary in size from a few mm to several cm in length, are usually sharply delimited by a dark, raised border, and are silvery grey above and grey to brown below; leaf spots on other hosts are similar. Brown spot or rot of mango fruits is also known. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia; Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Sabah, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka; Australia; Dominican Republic; Venezuela. TRANSMISSION: Inoculation studies with conidia and mycelium have shown P. mangiferae to be a weak parasite, capable of infecting young injured leaves, injured fruits, older uninjured leaves and healthy fruits if in contact with diseased tissue (35, 378; 40, 421). It has been isolated from soil, but the possibility of transmission through soil has not been investigated.

Abstract A description is provided for Septoria glycines. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Glycine max. DISEASE: Brown spot of soyabean (Glycine max). Early symptoms are usually on the cotyledons and first true leaves, spots are redish-brown, somewhat angular, up to 5 mm diam. and very numerous. They spread acropetally, coalesce and result in defoliation. Spots appear on stems and pods, which bear pycnidia (6: 74). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Occurs in E. Asia (China, Japan, USSR), and parts of E. and central Canada and USA (CMI Map 361, ed. 1, 1958). An additional record not yet mapped is Colombia. TRANSMISSION: Largely by seed which is penetrated mostly via the placenta and funicle; seed bears necrotic areas and pycnidia (35: 66; 37: 199).
