Abstract
P. vaccinii caused a fruit rot of blueberry at harvest in North Carolina [USA]. The fungus apparently penetrates blueberry fruit at all stages of development and remains latent until maturation. Fruit infected with Phomopsis are typically soft and often split resulting in leakage of juice. The infected fleshy tissue is reddish brown and mushy. Blueberry cv. Croatan, Harrison, Murphy and Wolcott were all susceptible to Phomopsis fruit rot with Harrison being the most susceptible.
