The infection of Tar Spot is localized to the chlorotic areas on the leaves and is mostly a cosmetic issue, rather than an economically detrimental disease. [5] The anamorph of tar spot is Melasmia acerina. [5] In late summer, conidiophores are formed in the mass of fungal tissue called the stroma. Stroma is located in the black lesions of the ...
Sooty mold is commonly seen on the leaves of ornamental plants such as azaleas, gardenias, camellias, crepe myrtles, Mangifera and laurels. Karuka is affected by sooty mold caused by Meliola juttingii. [6] Plants located under pecan or hickory trees are particularly susceptible to sooty mold, because honeydew-secreting insects often inhabit ...
Black leaf, also known as black spot disease can be caused by different types of fungi and bacteria. Most common being Asterina, Asterinella, Diplotheca, Glomerella, Gnomonia, Schizothyrium, Placosphaeria, and Stigmea. Black leaf can affect many different plant species during wet, damp climate.
The black spots can become about 5 millimeters in diameter. [1] As the season continues, the tissue around the original spot may become necrotic. [4] In severe cases of the disease there is premature shedding of leaves, blight of young leaves and shoots, and complete defoliation early in the fall. [1] Fruits that are infected become crumpled.

Infection causes a black or grey sunken lesion with a characteristic yellow border. [1] [2] On the leaves of some plants, infection can cause dark, water-soaked spots. [3] The lesions can be observed anywhere on the plant. [1] In seedlings, fungal lesions on the stem are a cause of damping-off. [4] Infected seeds appear black or grey. [1]
Symptoms can overlap across causal agents, however differing signs and symptoms of certain pathogens can lead to the diagnosis of the type of leaf spot disease. Prolonged wet and humid conditions promote leaf spot disease and most pathogens are spread by wind, splashing rain or irrigation that carry the disease to other leaves.
The most popular type of holly seen during the holidays is English holly (Ilex aquifolium), distinguished by its spiny evergreen leaves in deep glossy green or green edged in gold.Native to Europe ...
The leaves begin to turn brown at the margins and necrosis progresses towards the base of the leaf. [2] Cankers, which may or may not have black spots, may appear in the epidermal cortical tissue and on the stems of infected plants. Black spots, if visible, are pycnidia and/or perithecia. Black rot is a common symptom on the fruit of gummy stem ...
