Abstract
Anthracnose of almond was found for the 1st time in Israel in March 1977. Isolates obtained from infected fruits were identified as Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The pathogen infected young almond fruits during the spring and early summer. Although C. gloeosporioides did not penetrate the twigs, it caused wilting and early drop of leaves, resulting in bare twigs and shoots. Laboratory and field tests showed that protective fungicidal treatment with captafol, captan and folpet reduced disease severity.
