Dead skin on yams (Dioscorea alata) caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

A storage rot of yams (Dioscorea alata), commonly referred to as ‘dead skin′, has recently become a major constraint to yam production in the Caribbean. The fungal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was consistently isolated from affected tubers and re‐inoculation of healthy yam tubers resulted...
