How does colletotrichum spread?
Dispersal is primarily via asexual spores (conidia) produced by Colletotrichum. The pathogen can also be spread through infected plant material, including seed produced in infected pods.
Where is Colletotrichum found?
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is the causal fungus not only in cashew, but many other fruit trees, such as mango, papaya, avocado, citrus, and so on. The pathogen continues to grow on the dead parts of the host tissues and perpetuates itself even in unfavorable conditions.
