First report of citrus black spot disease caused by Phyllosticta citricarpa in Benin

Microscopic observation: (a) conidia surrounded by a thin mucoid layer, and (b) conidia with apical appendage (arrow) Koch's postulates were performed in the laboratory on 30 healthy ripe orange fruits, with two replicates, by injecting 5 μl of a suspension of 106 conidia/ml with a sterile medi...

Description
Summary:Microscopic observation: (a) conidia surrounded by a thin mucoid layer, and (b) conidia with apical appendage (arrow) Koch's postulates were performed in the laboratory on 30 healthy ripe orange fruits, with two replicates, by injecting 5 μl of a suspension of 106 conidia/ml with a sterile medical needle approximately 2 mm deep in the albedo of fruit. Pathogenicity test results of Phyllosticta citricarpa on orange fruits: (a) fruit inoculated by Phyllosticta citricarpa, and (b) control fruit inoculated with distilled water Phyllosticta citricarpa (syn.
