Abstract :Colletotrichum species are important plant pathogen fungi that cause significant crop losses before and after harvest worldwide. It is known that three species of Colletotrichum are caused by Anthracnose Disease in Strawberry. These are Colletotrichum fragariae A.N.Brooks, Colletotrichum acutatum J.H.Simmonds, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Penz.);Penz.&Sacc.in Penz.insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(telemorph Glomerella cingulata insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Stoneman); Spauld.&H.Scherenk);. Strawberry anthracnose symptoms  caused by C. a cutatum , C. fragariae and C. gloeosporioides are similar, and all three species of the plant leaves, stolon, flower, green and ripe fruits are symptoms, and all three species symptoms of leaves, stolon, flower green and ripe fruits are  on  the plant. Strawberry production is seen in all stages of the plant from seedling production from to harvest period and seedling and crop losses. The pathogen has become widespread on seedling  material throughout the world over the last two decades. This review covers detailed information on the anthracnose diseases caused by Colletotrichum species in strawberries, disease cycle, and control methods. The review was prepared to assist researchers studying on strawberry diseases, extension services, strawberry farmers, and seedling producers.
