Anthracnose

Anthracnose (Colletotrichum graminicola) on sorghum. Typical anthracnose symptoms are circular-elliptical dark spots, sometimes with a red pigmentation, which vary in size from 2 mm to more than 2 cm. The centre of mature lesions is straw-coloured and contains numerous fungal fruiting bodies (acervuli). Under humid conditions, on the spots , grey/cream/salmon-coloured spore masses are produced.
