Abstract

A leaf spot disease of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [P. americanum]), characterized by the presence of extremely variable symptoms ranging from small dots or flecks to large, rectangular or spindle-shaped spots, was caused by B. urochloae. The disease was observed at several locations in Zimbabwe during 1985-87. Limited observations suggest that the disease is potentially important. This is the first report of B. urochloae attacking P. americanum
