Control. 
The treatment as outlined for scald gives satisfactory control 
for the rot disease (page 195).

ANTHRACNOSE 
Caused by Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Sp. and von 8S. var. Vaccinit 
Shear 
Although cranberry-anthracnose was not reported prior to 
1907, it has a wide geographical range through the eastern 
United States. It is a much less injurious disease than either 
scald or rot (see pages 192 and 201, respectively). 
It is not easy to diagnose a case of the anthracnose disease 
by gross examination of affected berries. They are not uni- 
form in appearance. Berries affected with anthracnose may 
be very soft or not. The diseased flesh is usually light-col- 
ored. Sometimes flesh-colored, sticky masses of spores appear 
on the lesion; however, this is not a constant character. 
Little of importance is known regarding the life-history of 
the causal fungus. 
The disease is often associated with scald and rot and may 
be controlled by the use of bordeaux mixture as employed for 
those diseases.
