[ Objective] The study aimed to research the identification of Persimmon anthracnose and its controlling methods.[ Method ] The pathogen and characteristics, infection and occurrence law, damage symptoms of persimmon anthracnose were stated simply and the methods for con- trolling the disease were summed up. [ Result] The pathogen of Persimmon anthracnose was Gloeospor/um kaki Hod, belonging to Deuteromycotina. Germination and invasion of the conidia, sporulation and growth of mycelium all required high temperature, with the optimum temperature of 25 ℃ and the lethal temperature of 50 ℃ （10 min）. The occurrence strength of Persimmon anthracnose related with the factors including host, environment, culture circumstances, mainly doing harm to the fruits and branches. The occurrence of the disease could be controlled by such agricultur- al measures as cleaning the orchard, using the resistant varieties and planting the disease-free seedlings, adopting the balanced fertilization, improving the irrigation and drainage systems, conducting the dense planting and thin branches, building garden using the seedling that grafting on planted stock and raising the grafted parts of the stock. When the incidence was heavy, it needed to spray the fungicides or protective agent for the control of the Persimmon anthracnose. The fungicides should be mainly sprayed on the lesion of shoot, fruit surface and branches. [ Conclusion] The study provided the reference for the control of the Persimmon anthracnose.
