Field and laboratory investigation reveals Colletotrichum fructicola causes severe anthracnose in Lithocarpus polystachyus, highlighting threats to herbal tea cultivation.

Key Points

Severe leaf anthracnose of Lithocarpus polystachyus in China was determined to be caused by the fungal plant pathogen Colletotrichum fructicola, leading to leaf wilting.
Incident rates reached 87.3% in 2022 and 90.6% in 2023 across surveyed plantations, with Koch's postulates confirming pathogenicity on inoculated sweet tea leaves.
Fungal isolation and multi-locus gene sequencing of internal transcribed spacer regions verified isolates, highlighting vital targets to safeguard commercial tea yields.
