Samples of soybean leaflets showing leaf spot disease symptoms were collected from farms in Central, Lusaka and Southern provinces of Zambia. The pathogen was identified as Colletotrichum truncatum. Isolations were purified using single conidia and compared for morphological and physiological characters as well as for their pathogenic reactions to three commonly grown soybean cultivars in Zambia.
