Abstract

ANTHEACNOSE and red rot, caused by Colletotrichum graminicolum (Ces.) G. W. Wils., are two phases of a major disease of sorghum in the sirup-producing areas of the southern United States. Shortly after the initiation of a research program to improve sorgo (sweet sorghums) as a source of sugar and sirup, it became apparent that this disease could be a limiting factor in the intensive production of the crop in the Gulf coastal areas. In 1941 investigations on anthracnose and red rot were initiated at the United States Sugar Plant Field Laboratory at Meridian, Miss. This bulletin reports the results of the investigations.
