Lesions on wounded fruit surfaces appeared as small necrotic pits or freckles. Although other fungi (Alternaria alternata, A. solani, and Stemphylium spp.) were recovered occasionally, Corynespora cassiicola was isolated most frequently and consistently. Pathogen morphology and conidial measurements for isolates recovered from lesions were consistent with those reported for C. cassiicola. Fruit infection on the cultivar Duke occurred through wounds on the epidermis but not through unwounded tissue |
