COLLETOTRICHUM GLOEOSPORIOIDES, A NEW OLIVE (OLEA EUROPAEA L.) PARASITE IN YUGOSLAVIA

A new olive disease was for the first time recorded in September 1995 on the fruits of the local cultivar Zutica in an old olive plantation on the southern Montenegrin coast near Ulcinj.
It was established that the causal agent of the disease was the fungus Colletorichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. and Sacc. (Gloeosporium olivarum Alm.). One year later, in October 1996, the attack of the fungus was observed not only on Zutica, but also on some introduced cultivars (Picholine, Sant Agostino, Itrana, Dollce melle) in a new plantation in Ulcinj.
The occurrence of the disease was of higher intensity than in the previous year.
In this work, some morphological and biological aspects of Colletorichum gloeosporioides are given, as the first contribution to the study of the fungus under Montenegrin ecological conditions.
