Phelps, R.H. (Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute, St. Augustine (Trinidad and Tobago))
An account of 16 non-virus diseases important in the Caribbean. Diseases of the nursery include: Damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium sp., or Phytophthora sp.; Foot rot caused by Phytophthora parasitica or P. citrophthora; Sour Orange Scab (Elsinoe fawcetti) which is particularly important because of the extreme susceptibility of the major rootstocks sour orange and rough lemon; and the nematode Tylenchulus semipenetrans. Of orchard diseases the latter 3, as well as Melanose (Diaporthe citri), Greasy Spot (Mycosphaerella citri), water damage and Bird Vine (Phthirusa sp.) are widespread. Other diseases of either restricted host range or limited distribution are: Lime Anthracnose (Gloeosporium limetticola), Areolate Leaf Spot (Corticum areolatum), Sphaeropsis Knot (Sphaeropsis tumefaciens) and Postbloom Fruit Drop (Colletotrichum gloeosporoides)
