Diseases of Tea Trees II. White Scab of Tea Tree Caused by Sphaceloma theae
차나무의 병해 II. Sphaceloma theae에 의한 차 흰별무늬병
Abstract
Occurrence of white scab of tea (CAmellia sinensis) showing numerous, small, circular, reddish or yellowish brown spots on young tea leaves was observed at a tea plantation of Boseung, Chonnam, from May to June in 1992-1994. At the late growth stages, the center of the spot became light gray. The causal fungus of the white scab was identified as Sphaceloma theae Kurosawa. Symptoms were produced 5∼6 days after inoculation by the artificial inoculation of s. theae conidia, which was similar to those on naturally infected leaves.
