First report of Dematophora bunodes causing root rot of taro (Colocasia esculenta ) and leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) in Brazil.

First report of Dematophora bunodes causing root rot of taro (Colocasia esculenta ) and leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) in Brazil.

Colocasia esculenta, taro (T), is a major staple food crop in the tropics, including Brazil. Rumohra adiantiformis, leatherhead fern (LF), is broadly cultivated for its ornamental fronds that are used as a component of flower arrangements. Soft root rot of T and LF, and accompanying rapid plant wilt and death, was observed in plantations in Espírito Santo (Brazil), at Venda Nova do Imigrante, in April 2014 (LF) and July 2015 (T).
