Abstract: A Cercospora leaf spot of ramie (Boekmeria nivea) is reported from Assam. The disease produces dark brown to nearly black spots on the leaves, but causes only slight damage. The causal fungus has been identified as C. boehmeriae Peck and its pathogenicity has been established by inoculation. The morphology of the fungus, which grew well in a number of culture media but failed to produce spores under varied conditions of temperature, hydrogen-ion concentration, light and humidity, is described. The disease can be controlled by spraying with copper fungicides.
