Abstract

A leaf spotting disease of Tolmiea menziesii Torr. & Gray (piggyback plant) caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacco was investigated. The disease requires a moisture period of at least 12 hours for symptoms to occur. The disease is severe at 15.5, 21, and 27°C, (60, 70, 80°F), but does not occur at 32°C (90°F). Daconil and Fore are effective fungicidal controls.
