 Eventually all infected vines will become necrotic and occasionally the plant dies due to wilting and defoliation [1,7].Gummy stem blight can be confused with anthracnose, which is caused by a fungal plant pathogen called "Colletotrichum lagenarium" [1].To distinguish between anthracnose and gummy stem blight, gummy stem blight leaf lesions are darker, target-like and less deteriorated than anthracnose lesions [1].
