Strawberry Anthracnose

From Sherrie Smith, Plant Diagnostician

Four species of Colletotrichum cause anthracnose diseases of strawberry. Flower buds, sepals, pedicels, peduncles, leaves, crowns, and fruit may all be infected. The most common species found is Colletotrichum fragariae. It causes crown rot, petiole and runner lesions, and black leaf spots. Read more about Strawberry Antracnose here.
