Anthracnose of cucurbits is widely distributed over the world wherever cucurbits are grown. The disease is common in North Carolina. Anthracnose causes serious losses when susceptible cultivars of cucumber and watermelon are grown. Most cultivars of honey dew melon are very susceptible and this disease is a factor in limiting culture of this crop in the eastern United States. Cantaloupe, squash, and pumpkin are less susceptible to anthracnose but occasionally the disease causes losses on the fruit.
