Phytophthora sp. isolated from diseased tissues of the corwn of strawberry Browning rot of inner corwn and root resulted in wilt and eventual death of the plant. The causal fungus was identifed as Phytophthora cactorum. Sporangia were ovoid, conspicuously papillate, caducous and measured 30.0~56.6*23.8~35.2 (av. 39.3~29.9) micro m. Sexuality of the fungus was homothallic. Oogonia were sperical and 23.3~32.3 (av. 29.0) micro m in size. Most atheridia were paragynous and measured av. 10.2*12.2 micro m. Cardinal temperature for growth at minimum, optium, maximum were were recorded at 7, 20~25, and 32 degrees, respectively. The fungus show strong pathogenicity to strawberry This is the first report of strawberry caused by Phytophthora cactorum in Korea.
