Abstract A description is provided for Microsphaera penicillata. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On species of Alnus, Betula, Syringa, Lathyrus, sweet peas and numerous other hosts (Saknon, 1900; Stevens, 1925; 39: 739; 41: 175) DISEASES: Powdery mildew of alder and lilac. Forms a white to grey floury appearance on the surface of broad leaves of many hard wood trees. It is more prevalent on sweet peas than Erysiphe pisi (CMI Descript. 155) in North America in spring when temperature and humidity are fluctuating. The foliage may be malformed, dropping prematurely or drying out and shrivelling. It is also prevalent on lilac in late summer and autumn, sometimes in dry seasons almost completely covering the foliage, but generally too late in the season to cause serious damage. Young leaves are more susceptible. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World-wide on alder and lilac and occasionally occurring on numerous other hosts. Distributed generally in North America and Europe, also reported from Chile, China, India and Japan (Salmon, 1900, 39: 739; 41: 175). TRANSMISSION: Spores wind borne.

Abstract A description is provided for Leveillula taurica. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Gossypium barbadense, G. hirsutum and Cyamopsis psoraloides[Cyamopsis tetragonoloba]. Also on many other trees and shrubs belonging to the Leguminoseae, Malvaceae and Euphorbiaceae (Salmon, 1900; Blumer, 1933; Tarr, 1955; 37: 521). DISEASES: Powdery mildew of cotton and guar. The host becomes completely covered with the fungus which mostly forms conidia and rarely cleistothecia. Severe attacks cause defoliation. Komarov (1895) reported that in Seravschan-Turkestan every plant of the steppes up to 1219-1524 m is attacked. The fungus does not occur beyond 1829 m. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World wide but mainly in the mediterranean region, Central Europe and the Near East (Dennis, 1960; CMI Map 217; 37: 400). TRANSMISSION: Wind borne. In the Sudan the pathogen over-summers on Euphorbia heterophylla, a common weed (37: 521).

Abstract A description is provided for Ascochyta phaseolorum[Phoma exigua var. exigua]. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On Canavalia ensiformis, Glycine max, Lablab (Dolichos) niger, Phaseolus acutifolius, P. atropurpureus, P. aureus, P. calcaratus, P. lathyroides, P. limensis, P. lunatus, P. mungo, P. nanus, P. richardianus, P. trilobus, P. vulgaris, Vigna catjang', V. coerulea, V. sesquipedalis, V. sinensis, V. unguiculata, Voandezia subterranea. Also by inoculation on Althaea rosea, Cannabis sativa, Capsicum annuum, Fagopyrum sagittatum, Gossypium spp., Hibiscus esculentus, Lycopersicon esculentum, Malva verticillata, Nicotiana tabacum, Solanum melongena, Vicia sativa (Crossan, 1958; Zherbele, 1958). DISEASE: Leaf spot (or blotch) of bean. Young leaf spots are irregularly circular with grey to brown centres surrounded by a border of light green-yellow tissue. Other spots are light to dark brown and frequently zonate, marginal, terminal or discrete, cracking in the centre when the dead tissue finally drops out, 3-5 cm diam. Lesions common on pulvini result in considerable defoliation. Ascochyta phaseolorum causes target-spot lesions on several genera in the Leguminosae. Such symptoms on Phaseolus spp. are indistinguishable from the drab, zonate lesions of A. boltshauseri, but are distinct from those of A. pinodella L. K. Jones which are purplish-brown, indistinctly zonate and irregular, and A. pisi Lib. which are not zonate but light brown with a darker distinct margin. Also destructive on pods, stems and roots of seedlings. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rhodesia, Sudan, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia); Asia (China, India, Japan, Malaya, North Borneo, Pakistan, Sarawak), Australasia & Oceania (New Guinea, Solomon Is.); Europe (Denmark, Great Britain, Czechoslovakia, Netherlands, Sweden, U.S.S.R.); North America (U.S.A.); South America (Peru). TRANSMISSION: Seed borne, persisting in a viable condition for 24 years (26: 276). Viability and virulence also unimpaired after storage in culture at 1°C or 10-12°C for 20-25 months (41: 374). The pathogen may spread by infected haulms and by spores disseminated by splashing rain drops from infected seedlings. Also spread in pods of harvested plants stored in stooks in the field in cool, moist, weather (Hubbeling, 1955).

DISEASE: Mainly fungicolous: cobweb and spotting in cultivated Agaricus (NAIR et al., 1980; CHEN et al., 1984; BHARDWAJ et al., 1991; GROGAN, 2000), parasitizing uredospores and inducing teliospore formation in rust fungi (BIALI et al., 1972; FORRER, 1977; KOÇ & DÉFAGO, 1983; SRIVASTAVA et al., 1985b; VOLKER & BOYLE, 1994) and parasitizing powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea, HEIJWEGEN, 1988), but also entomogenous (see below). HOSTS: FUNGI: Agaricus bisporus and A. bitorquis, Sphaerotheca fuliginea and S. pannosa (VERHAAR et al., 1999), Puccinia spp. (VOLKER & BOYLE, 1994). INSECTA: Mosquito larvae (LÓPEZ-LASTRA et al., 1992, 2002); Bombyx mori (PATIL et al., 1994), Trialeurodes vaporariorum (ENCHEVA, 1979).

Abstract A description is provided for Erysiphe cruciferarum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Chiefly on members of the Cruciferae but also reported on Papaveraceae (Junell, 1961). DISEASE: Powdery mildew of swedes and tumips. The first signs of mildew consist of small patches of a thin white mycelium arising at various places on the leaf, often appearing first on the under surface. These soon merge forming larger areas of mycelium. The leaves of the swede, B. napus, may support heavy mildew growth for many weeks before they become chlorotic and die. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: World-wide. TRANSMISSION: Wind-borne conidia. The method of ovewintering is uncertain but myelium may be able to survive on winter Brassica spp. in the form of 'subinfections' (Searle, 1919).

Abstract A description is provided for Myrothecium roridum. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Plurivorous. On Antirrhinum, Coffea, Cucurbitaceae, Cyamopsis psoraloides, Gardenia, Gloxinia, Gossypium, Hibiscus esculentus, Hypocyrta, Lycopersicon esculentum, Molucella, Sesamum indicum, Solanum melongena, Trifolium pratense, Vigna unguiculata, Vinca, Viola. DISEASE: Commonly causing necrotic lesions or shot holes on leaves but can also occur on petioles, stems and fruit. Small, sometimes water-soaked, lesions increase to about 2.5 cm diam. ; they may be zonate and coalesce, defoliating the plant. On many hosts infection is most serious under nursery or glasshouse contitions. Infection leads to stem lesions, dieback of the crown and decay at soil level; this may resemble typical damping-off symptoms. Stem cankers have been reported on cotton and sunken lesions on the fruit of cantaloupe. On tomato fruit a firm, black rot develops, with a sharply delimited border between healthy and diseased tissue; the rotted part can be removed readily in one piece (25: 345; 35: 19; 36: 528; 41: 199; 44: 1586, 3367; 49: 503). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Widespread (CMI Map 458, ed. 1, 1969); possibly more serious in warmer regions. TRANSMISSION: Probably a common soil saprophyte, with the capacity to become actively parasitic under conditions not yet clearly definable. Infection of cotton bolls and carpel walls is reported (43, 3382b). Seed of C. psoraloides when inoculated gave only 16% germination compared with 93% for the uninoculated seed.
