Abstract

The cause of a scarring and fruit drop disorder of mangoes in Northern Territory Australia was investigated. The disorder was confirmed to be mango scab caused by the fungus Elsinoe mangiferae on 23 January 1997. This was the first time that this fungus was reported from Australia although circumstantial evidence points to it being in Australia since at least 1992. It had been known as a scarring form of flower anthracnose in some quarters. Applications of copper fungicides successfully controlled the disease and also assisted in the control ofanthracnose.
