Abstract

Cacao pod rot of Theobroma cacao L. occurred in Chichijima-island of Tokyo in 2014. The pathogen isolated from the diseased pod was identified as Colletotrichum tropicale based on morphological characteristics and molecular analyses of the rDNA-ITS, β-tubulin and actin regions. Inoculation test showed that the fungus was the causal agent of the disease. This is the first report of this disease in Japan.
