Abstract A description is provided for Phomopsis sclerotioides. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On members of Cucurbitaceae. DISEASE: Black rot of cucumber (Cucumis sativus). On finer roots, small isolated sunken necrotic spots. Later infections on older roots greyish black or brown areas (not necessarily sunken), bounded by darker areas (black wavy lines); coalescence occurs. Roots may be girdled and killed and the cortical tissue sloughs off. Stem infected at base from several rotted roots; stems show elongate brown (sometimes black) lesions with amber, gummy exudations. Plants are stunted, have fewer lateral shoots and small, downward cupped, leaves; partially developed fruit does not mature. Irreversible wilt (non-vascular) often reached as fruiting begins (46, 3612; 48, 3235). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Britain, Canada (British Columbia), Denmark, France, Germany, Malaysia (Sabah), Netherlands and Norway (CMI Map 509, ed. 1, 1975). TRANSMISSION: Through soil.

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria citri. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Citrus spp. DISEASES: Black rot of oranges; fruit rot of lemons and tangerines, leaf spot of rough lemon and Emperor mandarin. Probably found in general on Citrus spp., especially fruit. Internal decay in oranges begins near the styler end. There is no external sign of this but infected fruit tend to colour prematurely and some may drop. The condition may be aggravated by weather and host nutrient balance. On lemons a soft, central rot occurs in mature fruit, beginning at the button and spreading to the axis. The rind becomes translucent before the rot appears on the surface. There is also an end rot in which the external spread is almost as extensive as that inside the fruit. On leaves of rough lemon circular or irregular necrotic spots with concentric zoning are produced. A general chlorosis, curling and leaf drop follow. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: The fruit rotting form is widespread although other forms may be of more limited distribution. TRANSMISSION: Presumably air-borne but no dispersal studies appear to have been reported.

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Cucumis sativus. DISEASE: A temperate and subtropical wilt of cucumber which caused up to 40% losses in Florida in 1949. The pathogen causes pre-emergence and post-emergence damping-off and wilt of older plants. In Florida mature plants with runners may first show wilt in a single crown branch, followed by collapse of the whole plant. Vascular necrosis may extend into the vine for 6-8 nodes (35: 265, 266). A cortical decay, absent from older plants, occurs in seedlings. In England, wilt symptoms have been described as beginning in the lower leaves and the vascular system of the lower nodes becomes prominent, standing out as white lines (45, 3013). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: In U.S.A., in glasshouses in the north and in the field in California,. Florida, Mich., N. Mex., Texas and Wis. The disease has also been reported from: Africa (S. Africa); Asia (Iraq, Japan, Thailand); Australasia (Australia); Europe (England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, U.S.S.R.); North Amenca (Canada). TRANSMISSION: Presumably through soil.
