Glomerella cingulata was isolated from anthracnose lesions on strawberry fruits. Lesions caused by G. cingulata on fruits in the field and inoculated fruits were indistinguishable from those caused by Colletotrichum fragariae. Conidia of G. cingulata were slightly shorter but larger in diameter than those reported for C. fragariae.
