Abstract
Isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides from strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) and native grape were tested for virulence on strawberry cultivars in field experiments for three seasons. Isolate aggressiveness and cultivar resistance were determined by the proportion of plants killed at a defined time. Each year, four to six isolates were inoculated on four to seven different cultivars, with a subset of isolates and cultivars evaluated again the next season. On the dates that disease was evaluated, incidence ranged from 10 to 84% for individual cultivars. Cultivar and isolate effects were significant in all three seasons, but there was no significant cultivar by isolate interaction in any season. Thus, resistance to C. gloeosporioides appears to be nonspecific. In the third season, one isolate of Colletotrichum fragariae from strawberry and one from oak were included. There was no significant cultivar by isolate interaction detected for this species, although there were significant differences among cultivars and isolates. When the resistance of cultivars to both species was compared, the rankings of cultivars were similar, but a modest cultivar by species interaction was evident. The cultivar Treasure was more resistant to crown rot caused by either species than any other cultivar tested.
