Abstract:
Isolates were obtained from strawberry tissue with anthracnose symptoms from several locations near Tucumán, Argentina. Isolates were characterized using several criteria. Isolates produced fusiform conidia, tapered to a point at both ends, and averaged 13.5 × 4.9 μm. On potato dextrose agar, colonies produced a white cottony mycelial colony that turned orange in older cultures. Compared with Colletotrichum fragariae, the new isolates produced fewer appressoria. Pathogenicity tests were conducted on detached leaves and plants in the greenhouse and field. Detached immature leaves of cvs. Chandler, Fern, and Sweet Charlie were inoculated with a 20-μl droplet of an aqueous conidial suspension (106 conidia per ml) placed on the adaxial surface. Control leaves were inoculated with sterile distilled water. Leaves were maintained under white light (2,000 lux, 12 h/day) at 26°C, and 100% relative humidity. Necrotic spots were visible 4 days after inoculation. Greenhouse and field plants were spray-inoculated and covered for 48 h. Disease symptoms were mainly observed on petioles and runners 9 days after inoculation. No lesions were observed on control detached leaves or plants. Koch's postulates were confirmed in all cases. Based on morphological and cultural characteristics, isolates were identified as C. acutatum Simmonds (1). This is the first report of C. acutatum causing strawberry anthracnose in northwestern Argentina. Reference: (1) B. Smith and L. L. Black. Plant Dis. 74:69, 1990.

Introduction to Documentation and Reporting
Nursing documentation records essential information and details regarding a patient's care and treatment in written or electronic form. It is a critical aspect of nursing practice that involves documenting assessments, interventions, outcomes, and other relevant details about a patient's health status.
Documentation maps the patient's health journey by creating a comprehensive...
