Abstract

Powdery mildew of eggplant was found in Yeoju, Korea in autumn 2000. Many white and powdery mycelial colonies appeared on leaves, petioles and branches of the plants. Conidia with fibrosin bodies were ellipsoid to elongate- ellipsoid, 25~40×15~22 mm in size and formed in chains with crenate edge. Conidiophores were erect on superfical mycelium, 47~100 mm in length. Germ tubes from conidia were simple and unbranched. No cleistothecia were observed. On the basis of morphological characters of the conidial stage, the fungus was identified as Sphaerotheca fusca.

Key Words: eggplant, powdery mildew, Solanum melongena, Sphaerotheca fusca
