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 ...
Black rot on orchids is caused by Pythium and Phytophthora species. [1] Black rot targets a variety of orchids but Cattleya orchids are especially susceptible. [1] Pythium ultimum and Phytophthora cactorum are known to cause black rot in orchids. [1] Pythium ultimum is a pathogen that causes damping-off and root rot on plants. [2]
Leaf spots can vary in size, shape, and color depending on the age and type of the cause or pathogen. Plants, shrubs and trees are weakened by the spots on the leaves as they reduce available foliar space for photosynthesis. Other forms of leaf spot diseases include leaf rust, downy mildew and blights. [4]

Symptoms of infection include a downward curling of the leaves, leaf tip dieback, stunting, necrosis of growing leaf tips, sunken 'chicken pox-like' spots on leaves (often with a surrounding halo), stem death and yellowing. [7] Since these symptoms are so generic, extreme caution must be taken when introducing new plants to your greenhouse.
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.
