Abstract
Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal crop in the world. There is a high potential for sorghum production in Indonesia because of its drought tolerance and wide adaptability. Sorghum cultivation is constrained in Indonesia by pests and diseases. One such disease is tar-spot caused by the Phyllachora sp., an obligate fungal pathogen. Tar spot disease of sorghum has not been widely reported. This study reports the finding of Phyllachora species based on the morphology and molecular identification of tar spot on leaves of sorghum plants of Latu Monca and Latu Kaca local varieties.The pathogen was identified as Phyllachora species. This is the first report of tar spots of sorghum caused by Phyllachora in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia.
