Ascochyta corticola McAlpine 1899

Pathogenicity

In New Zealand this fungus is commonly found associated with bark blotch of lemon trees. Brien (1931a, 1931b) showed it to be a wound pathogen of stems, leaves, and fruits of lemons. Nottage (1943) and Everett (1945) stated that it was associated with damage caused by the lemon-tree borer beetle (Aemano hirta). Bailey (1953) described the disease and discussed its importance and control. It is present in most citrus-growing areas in New Zealand. In some orchards it can be of considerable economic importance.
