Diplocarpon earliana can cause severe leaf scorch on susceptible strawberry cultivars in western Oregon in the autumn. Of 23 cultivars grown on the U.S. Pacific Coast, 6 were resistant, 7 were intermediate, and 10 were susceptible to scorch disease when evaluated in field test plots in November 1979 in Corvallis, OR.
