Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Drechslera tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic plant pathogen of fungal origin, phylum Ascomycota. [1] The pathogen causes a disease originally named yellow spot but now commonly called tan spot, yellow leaf spot, yellow leaf blotch or helminthosporiosis.
Common Deuteromycetes that cause leaf spot disease: [7] [8] [9] Deuteromycetes Cause and Host Alternaria: Small water-soaked lesions, maturing into sunken and brown spots with or without a yellow halo. May show concentric rings with purple margins. Necrotic tissue may fall out to appear shot-holed. Leaf spot on many plants and crops. Septoria
Prevention is the best option for management of gray leaf spot as hyphae on plant debris is the primary source of inoculum. [1] There are various cultivars of St. Augustine grass, perennial ryegrass and tall fescue on the market that have variable resistance to gray leaf spot but none are confirmed as completely resistant.
Turf melting out begins as black to purple spots on the leaf blades. These spots eventually appear on the leaf sheaths. The fungus then begin to move down and invade the crowns and the roots of the plants. From far away, the turf appears yellow or blackish brown. The colors that appear on the turf directly reflect the nitrogen levels in the ...
The pathogens are spread by grass trimming equipment such as a lawn mower as they carry the plant debris that contains the scelerotia (13). In addition, the hyphae from an infected plant invade other nearby plants as they grow outside of roots and rhizomes (10). Black mycelium as known as “runner hyphae” grow on surface of infected roots ...
Epicoccum sorghinum (former Phoma sorghina) is an ascomycete fungus with known plant pathogenicity to sugarcane and rice, causing ring spot disease and leaf spot disease.This fungus is primarily known for its production of tenuazonic acid, which leads to complications with growth and causes the symptoms of leaf spot disease.
Once on the leaves, the spores germinate and penetrate through the stoma. [2] The subsequent infection causes chlorosis of the leaves in localized yellow spots. As the season continues into summer, apothecia begin to form, giving rise to brown-black leaf lesions that resemble spots of tar. [2] Leaves retain their yellow border from the initial ...
It causes downy mildew on a vast number of cereal crops including oats, rice, maize, and wheat as well as varieties of turf grass. [1] The common names of the diseases associated with Sclerophthora macrospora include "crazy top disease" on maize [2] and yellow tuft disease on turf grass. [3]
