First report of secondary leaf fall in rubber trees caused by Phyllosticta capitalensis in the Eastern Plains of Colombia
Rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are planted on 65,545 hectares in Colombia (Minagricultura, 2021). Since September 2020, unusual leaf spots were observed on mature leaves of rubber trees (clones RRIM 600 and FX 3864), in three plantations in the Eastern Plains region. The regular spots (usually 1–3 per leaf) were up to 8 mm in diameter, with a clearly defined brownish to blackish margin and a necrotic centre (Figure 1). The disease led to secondary leaf fall, causing up to 30% defoliation.
