Abstract

Reddish-orange spots with chlorotic halos were detected in stems and fruits of yellow pitahaya (Hylocereus megalanthus) in Botucatu region, Brazil, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was identified as the causal agent. This is the first Brazilian report on Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc leading to anthracnose in pitahaya plants.
