Abstract

During the supervision of large number of strawberry plots on several localities in wider area of districts of Banja Luka, Laktaši, Gradiška and Srbac in northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the appearance of diseased plants with evident symptoms of anthracnose was determined in certain production plots. The percentage of the diseased plants differed, but in certain plots it was from 5- 20%, although the production plots with higher percent of contracted disease weren’t rare as well, because of which in such plots there were significant economic damages.
Based on the obtained results of studying pathogen, morphological and cultivating characteristics of three chosen isolates (Jag-1, Jag- 4 and Jag-7), we can conclude that they all belong to phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum acutatum Simmonds ex Simmonds- which is the cause of anthracnose of strawberry.
