    Involvement of Some Fungi in Immature Fruit Rot of Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.)
    (2007-02) Subbaiah, C.C.; Boppaiah, B.M.
    Immature fruit drop, a severe problem in cashew, is so far considered to be only physiological and entomological. During our survey, we noticed some fungi growing on the young nuts and causing dry rot. These 5 species of fungi were identified as Aspergillus spp. (2), Penicillium spp. (1), Colletotrichum sp. (1) and Trichosporiella sp. Pathogenicity was tested and confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. The details of further studies will be reported soon.
