| Abstract: | During 2007–2008 a severe foliar disease was observed on cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Negin) grown in greenhouses in Yazd, Iran. The disease symptoms were visible as olivaceous to smoky leaf spots on
leaves and decay of small fruits. Penidiella strumelloidea was isolated from leaves and fruits of infected plants. Pathogenicity testing of the isolates demonstrated the role of P. strumelloidea in disease incidence. This is the first report of P. strumelloidea causing olivaceous leaf blotch and fruit decay of greenhouse cucumber in Iran. |
