First report of Pseudocercospora jahnii in the Philippines

Abstract

Young and mature leaves with necrotic spots of Tabebuia pallida were collected in field experimental plots in Mandaue City, Cebu, and Laguna in the Philippines. The leaf spots were colonised by a cercosporoid fungus identified as Pseudocercospora jahnii, which is a first report of this pathogen from the Philippines.
