Abstract A description is provided for Cercospora duddiae. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Allium ascalonicum, A. cepa, A. fistulosum, A porrum, A. sativum. DISEASE: Leaf spot or withertip on onion and garlic. The symptoms vary on the different host species. On onion circular, chlorotic spots 3-5 mm diam. form mainly on the tip of the leaf, gradually decreasing in number towards the leaf base. The lesions at the leaf tip coalesce, forming a dry greyish-brown area, and in severe cases the entire leaf tip may be killed. The base of the leaf is mottled with brown necrotic leaf spots. Eventually the necrotic tissue may spread down the leaf surface, delimited by a narrow band (3 mm) of chlorotic tissue (Welles, 1923). Rarely does the disease cause much damage (Chupp & Sherf, 1960). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Uganda; Asia: Borneo, Brunei, Burma, India, Indonesia, Oman, The Yemen; Australasia: Papua New Guinea; North America: West Indies (Barbados, Jamaica). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne or water-splash dispersed conidia, and by transportation with onion parts. The fungus is also reported to be seed borne (Chupp & Sherf, 1960).

Abstract A description is provided for Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Gossypium spp., and species of Cajanus, Coffea, Hevea, Hibiscus, Medicago, Ricinus, Solanum and Vigna. DISEASE: Vascular wilt or Fusariosis of cotton is a disease affecting its host at all stages of its growth. Early symptoms on seedlings consist of vein clearing of the leaves followed by necrosis of the interveinal tissue and death of the leaves. On older plants leaves become chlorotic and the vascular tissues show a brown discolouration. Growth is retarded and the plant eventually wilts. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Congo, Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, South Africa, Tanganyika, Uganda; Asia: Burma, China, Formosa, India, Indo-China, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, U.S.S.R. ; Europe: France, Greece, Italy, Romania, Yugoslavia; North America, Mexico, U.S.A. (cotton belt); Central America & West Indies: Guatemala, Nevis, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Salvador, St. Vincent; South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela. (C.M.I. Map 362). TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne, but may also be transmitted by water and seed. The pathogen has been recovered from delineated seed obtained from infected cotton plants in the Central African Republic, Congo, Tanganyika and Brazil (32: 186; 33: 143; 40: 754; 41: 389). The percentage infection ranged from 0.2 to 5.0.
