Research reports leaf spot caused by Colletotrichum fructicola on Rhododendron lapponicum, indicating a need for effective management strategies.

Colletotrichum fructicola caused significant leaf spot disease in R. lapponicum, resulting in leaf wilting and plant death.
Pathogenicity tests confirmed C. fructicola as the cause after inoculating healthy plants, leading to characteristic leaf symptoms.
Morphological and molecular methods validated the identification of C. fructicola, including sequenced genetic markers like ITS and GAPDH.
This research highlights the importance of monitoring R. lapponicum for C. fructicola infections to aid in disease management.

Niu et al. (2025) studied this question.
