ResumoAbstract In September 2022, a leaf spot disease, which later coalesce and result into leaf defoliation of rubber was observed in Tungawan, Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. Morpho‐cultural and molecular characterization identified the pathogen as Neopestalotiopsis clavispora . Koch's postulates were fulfilled confirming its pathogenicity to rubber seedlings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of N. clavispora infecting rubber in the Philippines.
