Citrus canker bacteria can enter through a plant's stomata or through wounds on leaves or other green parts. In most cases, younger leaves are considered to be the most susceptible. Also, damage caused by citrus leaf miner larvae (Phyllocnistis citrella) can be sites for infection to occur. Within a controlled laboratory setting, symptoms can ...

Citrus greening is distinguished by the common symptoms of yellowing of the veins and adjacent tissues (hence the "yellow dragon" name given by observing Chaozhou farmers as early as the 1870s [1]); followed by splotchy mottling of the entire leaf, premature defoliation, dieback of twigs, decay of feeder rootlets and lateral roots, and decline in vigor, ultimately followed by the death of the ...
While these plants are relatively low maintenance, it’s not unusual for peace lily leaves to turn yellow here and there due to stress, pests, or other issues. This guide explains the most common ...
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]
Trees infected with citrus blight can be detected by testing the level of zinc in a plant's bark (high levels of zinc indicate an infection) and by testing for anti-viral proteins – produced by the plant to fight the blight – in a plant's roots and leaves. The finding of plugs in a tree's xylem is a strong indication it is infected with ...
When shade-loving plants get too much light, the chlorophyll in the leaves is broken down by the light. The sunburned leaves begin looking blotchy , pale, faded, or washed out.
Iron deficiency showing chlorotic leaves in a lemon tree. Compare yellow chlorotic leaves with the green non chlorotic leaves at left of this image. Iron (Fe) deficiency is a plant disorder also known as "lime-induced chlorosis". It can be confused with manganese deficiency.
