• During favorable conditions, conidia are released from infected lesions on the leaves or fruit and dispersed to other plants through rainfall or wind. (wikipedia.org)
  • Phomopsis viticola overwinters as pycnidia until favorable conditions arise again. (wikipedia.org)
  • Such lesions become zonate and under favorable conditions spread rapidly causing extensive blighting of leaves, pods and stems of cowpea (Singh and Allen, 1979). (codemint.net)

  • The teleomorph stage of the disease cycle does not occur in nature and involves sexual combination of the antheridium with the ascogonium to produce ascospores, allowing for genetic variation. (wikipedia.org)
  • The ascospores are encased in an ascus, which is further protected in a survival structure called the perithecium. (wikipedia.org)
  • Wind-borne ascospores are forcibly ejected from fungal fruiting bodies embedded in leaves in the leaf litter under trees and are carried by air currents, approximately 75 feet (25 meters) from leaf litter. (ufl.edu)
  • Fungal pathogens depend on moist conditions, causing the intensity of disease outbreaks to increase in wet environments. (wikipedia.org)
  • A small, raised pustule usually develops at the centre of the lesion, especially on the lower leaf surface. (infonet-biovision.org)

  • The bacteria causing bacterial pustule over-season in diseased leaves and are seed-borne. (infonet-biovision.org)
  • Pre-existing wounds on the plant from annual pruning or insects allow the pathogen to gain entry into the next plant. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some insects also cause damage that appears like a spot disease.Leaf spot may result in defoliation in some Bread(Nix, 2014). (codemint.net)
  • With age they become round sunken necrotic spots with gray centers and prominent margins that are brick-red to chocolate brown. (ufl.edu)
  • Numerous small, water soaked spots first appear on the lower leaves, these spots soon become circular to angular with dark margins and grayish white centers often bearing one or more tiny black bodies called pycnidia, which are spore-bearing structures. (codemint.net)
  • Individual leaf spots initially occur on older leaves and then progress to younger leaves are approximately 0.80cm in diameter with ash colored centers and purple to brown borders and circular to oval in shaped. (codemint.net)
  • Leaf infections first appear as small, light-green spots with irregular, occasionally star-shaped margins. (wikipedia.org)
  • Septoria spot produceslesions on wild blueberry and banana that are dark red, circular to irregular, 2-4mm in diameter, appearing similar on both leaf surfaces (Singh and Allen, 1979). (codemint.net)
  • 1996).Initial symptoms on the leaves are small circular reddish-brown spots which enlarge, becoming surrounded by irregular shaped water-soaked areas. (codemint.net)
  • Infections of leaf petioles may cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off. (wikipedia.org)
  • Live leaves that have latent infections (infections that are not visible) are common means of long distance spread. (ufl.edu)
  • Phomopsis cane and leaf spot occurs wherever grapes are grown. (wikipedia.org)
  • Phomopsis cane and leaf spot is a disease that causes symptoms in the common grapevine species, Vitis vinifera, in many regions of the world. (wikipedia.org)
  • Black spot symptoms occur in several forms called hard spot, cracked spot, false melanose and virulent spot which are described below. (ufl.edu)
  • Leaf and stem symptoms are not as common as fruit symptoms, but can occur when there is insufficient disease control on any cultivar. (ufl.edu)
  • Udugama, 2002).Wild blueberry leaf spot caused by Septoria sp, symptoms appears as small water soaked blisters on the bottom side of the leaf. (codemint.net)
  • The anamorph stage is known to occur in nature and produces the main inoculum associated with this plant pathogen. (wikipedia.org)
  • It may occur on green fruit and does not have pycnidia (fungal structures). (ufl.edu)
  • Aphids are found in clusters (colonies) on stems, young shoots and pods and underside of leaves. (infonet-biovision.org)
  • Small, black spots on the internodes at the base of developing shoots are probably the most common disease symptom. (wikipedia.org)
  • This will help prevent movement of black spot and other diseases into newly established grove plantings. (ufl.edu)
  • Phomopsis cane and leaf spot is more severe in grape-growing regions characterized by a humid temperate climate through the growing season. (wikipedia.org)
  • Crop losses up to 30% have been reported to be caused by Phomopsis cane and leaf spot. (wikipedia.org)
  • Phomopsis cane and leaf spot is caused by an ascomycete fungal plant pathogen. (wikipedia.org)
  • The severity of Phomopsis cane and leaf spot in grapevine varies greatly between growing seasons. (wikipedia.org)
  • Spot is a common descriptive term applied to a number of diseases affecting Bread. (codemint.net)
  • A leaf spot disease creates spots on foliage. (codemint.net)
  • Concentric rings or a dark margin around the spot may be present. (codemint.net)
  • Older or vigorous plants may tolerate bean fly attack, but their leaves turn yellow, their growth is stunted and their yield reduced. (infonet-biovision.org)
  • Those that emerge from the soil often have brown, sunken cankers on the cotyledons (seedling leaves). (infonet-biovision.org)
  • As the amount of rainfall changes between the seasons, so does the amount of pathogen present in the field. (wikipedia.org)
  • Bubák (teleomorph: Diaporthe Nitschke) is a cosmopolitan fungal genus that contains both plant pathogens and endophytes described from a wide range of annual and perennial hosts, including economically important crops. (wikipedia.org)
  • It has been found that the pathogen experiences the fastest rate of reproduction between 23 and 25 °C (73 and 77 °F). Although temperature is important, the amount of rainfall has a greater impact on this pathogen because rainfall is an effective method of conidial dispersal. (wikipedia.org)
  • By the first week of May, the disease has been found in another location about 14 miles northeast from the original find. (ufl.edu)
  • Prolonged rainfall early in the season has been correlated with greater disease outbreak. (wikipedia.org)
  • Usually only the lower one to four leaves on a shoot are affected. (wikipedia.org)
  • The infected areas develop diffuse red margins (Wild blue berry Fact Sheet, 2007). (codemint.net)
  • The latter shows water soaking at the centre or the margin of the dead area in the early stages of infection. (infonet-biovision.org)
  • Female flies lay eggs on young leaves, piercing the leaves and sucking the exuding sap resulting in yellow blotches on the leaves, which are the first signs of bean fly attack and are useful for early detection of this pest. (infonet-biovision.org)
  • Maggots mine their way from the leaves down to the base of the stem, where they complete their development. (infonet-biovision.org)
