Black rot is a common symptom on the fruit of gummy stem ...
The melon fruit decreases in size and displays necrotic spots on the rind as well. [citation needed] Overall, infection of the crop will produce small chlorotic spots on the leaves, stems, and/or cotyledons, which turn brown while enlarging in size. The necrotic lesions can cause death to the plant structure and plant as a whole.

The watermelon is an annual that has a prostrate or climbing habit. Stems are up to 3 metres (10 feet) long and new growth has yellow or brown hairs. Leaves are 60 to 200 millimetres (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 7 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches) long and 40 to 150 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 6 in) wide. These usually have three lobes that are lobed or doubly lobed.
