Pathogenicity

In the North Island, especially in Auckland, this fungus is found associated with small disease lesions on leaf blades and petioles of rhubarb. It is common in late autumn and spring-in the South Island it has been recorded from Nelson. It is of economic importance, as infected stalks are unmarketable.
