Black spot (Diplocarpon rosae) Black spot (class Leotiomycetes: family Helotiales) Diplocarpon rosae syn. Marssonina rosae – Marssonina rosae causes black spots on leaves. [4] The spots, which may be as much as 12 mm across, are generally circular and have an irregular edge often with a yellow halo. Leaves frequently turn yellow and fall early.
The black spots are circular with a perforated edge, and reach a diameter of 14 mm (1 ⁄ 2 inch). Badly affected plants, however, will not show the circular patterning, as they combine to cause a large, black mass. The common treatment of the disease is to remove the affected leaves and spray with antifungal solutions.
Treating black leaf disease can be achieved in many ways. Some include removing each affected leaf of any yellow or black color. If the infection has spread throughout a larger area, it may be best to remove the affected limb of the plant to reduce further spread. Fungicides may be used as treatment. There are a number of remedies used to ...
The host-specific characteristic of many leaf spot pathogens makes diversity in plant species a way to reduce and regulate leaf spot pathogen infection levels within plant populations. [18] Prevention of leaf spot disease includes variety selection, crop rotations, plant hygiene and fungicide use for seeds and foliage. [19]
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a fungus which causes anthracnose, or black spot disease, of the common bean plant (Phaseolus vulgaris).It is considered a hemibiotrophic pathogen because it spends part of its infection cycle as a biotroph, living off of the host but not harming it, and the other part as a necrotroph, killing and obtaining nutrients from the host tissues.
Asperisporium caricae is an ascomycete fungus that is a plant pathogen, found in North and South America. It is responsible for the black spot disease on papaya trees. It affects generally leaves and fruits at any time. Sporodochia of Asperisporium caricae was growing under side of leaf, dark blackish brown to black, stroma well-developed ...
Black rot is a name used for various diseases of cultivated plants caused by fungi or bacteria, producing dark brown discoloration and decay in the leaves of fruit and vegetables: A disease of the apple, pear and quince caused by a fungus ( Botryosphaeria obtusa or Physalospora cydoniae )
Halo blight causes small water-soaked spots on leaves. These spot progressively turn dark brown and are surrounded by a wide greenish yellow halo. The necrotic spots remain small unlike that of common blight. [4] Similar to foliage symptoms, halo blights causes water-soaked spots on vegetative pods. It also causes streaks along pod sutures.
