Abstract

Nattrassia mangiferae (anamorph: Scytalidium dimidiatum), a wound invading pathogen of forest and fruit trees, was reported to be the cause of foot canker of Hevea brasiliensis seedlings in Sri Lanka. The cultural characteristics and the morphologyof the reproductive structure: thallospores, pycnidia, pycnidiospores of Hevea isolate IMI 352075 were studied. Results indicated that isolate IMI 352075 from Sri Lanka resembles isolates of N. mangiferae obtained from other hosts in different parts of the world.
