“…Ceratocystis fimbriata causes blight, wilt, dieback, decline and canker of cacao, citrus, eucalyptus, loquat, plane, pomegranate, mango, shisham and several other important timber and fruit tree species in different countries including Pakistan where it causes substantial economic losses (Poussio et al ., 2010; Alam et al ., 2018). However, this is first report of C. fimbriata causing dieback in C. lancifolius in Pakistan and worldwide.…”

“…It has been associated with various horticultural crops: Alocasia sp., Ipomoea batatas, Manihot esculenta and C. esculenta (CABI, 2005, Roux andWingfield, 2009). C. fimbriata is well known pathogen osn pomegranate, loquat, eucalyptus, mango and shisham trees in Pakistan (Alam et al, 2018 andUl Haq et al, 2019), but there is no literature available on this fungus causing black rot of Arvi in the country. In June 2019, black rot disease symptoms were noticed on edible corms of Arvi for sale in different vegetable shops in Faisalabad, Pakistan.…”

Arvi (Colocasia esculenta) is widely cultivated sweet and starchy corms as a staple food in most of the African and Asian countries. Black rot caused by Ceratocystis fimbriata is the most damaging post-harvest disease of Arvi in many countries. In June, 2019, the black rot disease symptoms were noticed on edible corms of Arvi for sale in different vegetable shops in Faisalabad, Pakistan. These symptoms were comprised of small, brown to greenish, slightly sunken spots or lesions which later on enlarged as black rot on the harvested corms. A comprehensive study was initiated to explore the pathogen associated with symptomatic corms. White to grey mycelia and black perithecia with long necks were observed within the lesions. The isolated pathogen was identified as Ceratocystis fimbriata based on morpho-physiological characteristics. Pathogenicity was proved on inoculated corms at 26±2°C and 70% relative humidity (RH) in plant growth chamber. The fungus was further tested for growth and reproduction physiology under different growth media and environmental parameters. A significant interaction between mycelial growth and culture media was observed. Highest mycelial growth (9 cm) of C. fimbriata was showed by Potato Carrot Agar (PCA) and lowest growth (0%) was observed on Water Agar (WA). There was a significant correlation between Temperature, RH, and hydrogen ion (pH) concentration responsible for the growth of C. fimbriata at (P < 0.01). The optimum fungal growth (8.75, 8.96, and 8.95 cm) was measured at 25°C, 70% RH, and pH 8 respectively. The paper may act as basic resource for future research on the epidemiology of this disease.
