Abstract A description is provided for Pythium mamillatum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Ageratum houstonianum, Agrostis stotonifera, Allium cepa, Ananas comosus, Antirrhinum majus, Aquilegia caerulea, Avena sativa, Beta vulgaris, Brassica nigra, B. oleracea, Citrullus vulgaris, Collinsia bicolor, Cucumis sativus, Festuca duriuscula, Geum chiloense, Gossypium sp., Linum usitatissimum, Medicago sativa, Papaver somniferum, Pelargonium spp., Pisum sativum, Saccharum officinarum, Triticum aestivum, Viola tricolor and in soil. Also on algae (Cladophora sp., Glorocapsa sp.) on inoculation. DISEASE: Causes damping-off of seedlings and root rot of various hosts including the following crops, cauliflower, cotton, cocumber, flax, lucerne, mustard, oats, onion, pineapple, sugar beet, sugarcane and wheat. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Central African Republic); Australasia & Oceania (Australia, Hawaii); Europe (Germany, Great Britain, Netherlands, Sweden); North America (U.S.A.). TRANSMISSION: Soil-borne. Abundant in sandy nursery soils (44, 52). The pathogen has a restricted role as a pioneer colonizer of cultivated soil, surviving in organic matter as hyphal resting bodies (Barton, 1961). Oospore germination in response to exudates from living seedlings has also been demonstrated (Barton, 1957).

Abstract A description is provided for Phoma nebulosa. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Generally considered a common soil-borne saprobe. It is often isolated from roots and rhizosphere soil such as reported in a study on soil sickness from a Citrus orchard (65, 4936). Also reported from seeds of Sesamum indicum (62, 1147; 68, 4885), as a post-harvest pathogen of Ziziphus mauritiana (73, 7307) and as causing disease of Spinacea oleracea (74, 5004). HOSTS: Plurivorous. On and from Abelmoschus, Acalypha, Acer negundo, Allium cepa, Althaea rosea, Amaranthus, Anarcardium, Arabis, Arachis, Arceuthobium, Artemisia, Bambusa, Begonia, Beta, Borassus, Brassica, Camellia, Cannabis sativa, Capsicum, Carica, Chamaecyparis, Chrysanthemum, Cicer, Citrullus, Citrus, Clematis, Cordyline, Conium, Cotoneaster, Daucus, Dianthus, Dracaena, Durio, Eschscholzia, Eucalyptus, Eugenia, Eutrema, Fragaria, Galium, Glichenia, Glycine, Gmelina, Gossypium, Helianthus, Hibiscus, Humulus, Impatiens, Lagenaria, Lamium sp., Limonium, Magnolia, Mercurialis perennis, Momordica, Murraya, Onobrychis viciifolia, Opuntia, Paeonia sp. (BOEREMA et al., 1996), Pastinaca, Persea, Petroselinum sativa, Philodendron, Phoenix, Phlox, Pinus, Populus, Rubus, Sarcolobus, Scrophularia, Sesamum indicum, Solanum, Spinacea oleracea, Tectona, Thalictrum, Theobroma, Thymus, Trichosanthes, Triticum, Urena, Urtica dioica (on which it is very common, fide BOEREMA, 1976), Wasabia and Ziziphus mauritiana. Also from soil, plant litter, rotten fruit and vegetables, water, air, dog hair, sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and human sources. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread. AFRICA: Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal. NORTH AMERICA: Canada, USA. CENTRAL AMERICA: Honduras, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies. SOUTH AMERICA: Brazil. ANTARCTICA. ASIA: Burma, India, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand. AUSTRALASIA: Australia, New Zealand. EUROPE: Austria, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Netherlands.

Abstract A description is provided for Alternaria sesami. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Sesamum indicum. DISEASE: Pre-emergence and post-emergence damping off and leaf, stem and pod spot. On the leaves the brown, round or irregular spots are up to 2 crn diam. with concentric zonations on the upper surface, coalescent; leaf fall can be severe. Stem and capsule lesions may be less conspicuous but those on the former can present a water-soaked appearance, spreading almost the whole length of the stem. Infected seed leads to reduced emergence. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Fairly widespread in Asia, E. & W. Africa, S. America and S.E. U.S.A. Details are given in CMI Map 410, ed. 1; Ethiopia is an additional recent record. TRANSMISSION: Seedborne; spread may have occurred mainly through seed.
