Click to collapse Descriptions Info

Brien et al. (1955) showed that this fungus was associated with lesions on pods and leaves. It sometimes occurs on stems, where it may cause a collar rot. Curtis (1923) showed it to be associated with a collar rot in lupins. It may cause considerable damage in pea crops. As the disease is seed borne, seed should be saved only from disease-free crops and should be dusted with a fungicide prior to sowing.
Type: Foliicolous Fungi; Description: Conidiomata pycnidial, gregarious, more or less concentrically distributed, subepidermal, erumpent, subglobose, light yellow-brown to brown, 0.1–0.2 mm in diameter, ostiolate, with a dark brown border; on greyish brown to brown circular lesions with a raised dark brown margin, 2–8 mm in diameter, on leaves and pods. Conidia cylindrical, 1-septate, 11–14 × 3–4 μm, smooth, hyaline.
Distribution: Auckland, Wellington.; 1st Record: Kirk (1906).
Significance: May cause considerable damage to pea crops (Dingley 1969) but of no importance on lupins.; Host(s): Lupinus angustifolius, L. arboreus.
