Tomato leaf mold is a plant disease originated from the South and Central America. [1] In 1883, Cooke first discovered the tomato leaf mold in North Carolina. [ 2 ] This disease is not common on the fruit, but if the control is not run, the foliage can be greatly damaged and result in significant yield losses.
The humidity may be used as a surrogate for leaf wetness, as it is an essential component of an environment and has data that can be easily measured. This pathogen is an especially prominent foliar disease of tomato in Florida, which provides the optimal high humidity environment for the disease growth and development.
Viral and viroid diseases Common mosaic of tomato (internal browning of fruit) Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) Curly top: Curtovirus: Potato virus Y Potato virus Y: Pseudo curly top Tomato pseudo-curly top virus: Tomato bushy stunt Tomato bushy stunt virus: Tomato etch Tobacco etch virus: Tomato fern leaf Cucumber mosaic virus: Tomato mosaic Tomato ...
The two isolates of TYLCV that are most commonly found in affected countries are tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV) and tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Israel (TYLCV-Isr). The first detection of TYLCV was confirmed through blot hybridization, PCR, and genome sequencing in the Dominican Republic in 1994.
Begomovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Geminiviridae. [1] They are plant viruses that as a group have a very wide host range, infecting dicotyledonous plants. . Worldwide they are responsible for a considerable amount of economic damage to many important crops such as tomatoes, beans, squash, cassava and c
Darkening lesions on tomato leaves Advanced necrosis on tomato leaf. Stemphylium solani is of greatest concern in tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, garlic, onions, and cotton, though a wide range of over 20 species have proven susceptible. In tomatoes and potatoes, the resulting disease is known as grey leaf spot. In alliums it is known as leaf ...
The foliage of affected tomato plants shows mottling, with alternating yellowish and darker green areas, the latter often appearing thicker and raised giving a blister-like appearance. The leaves tend to be fern-like in appearance with pointed tips and younger leaves may be twisted. The fruit may be distorted, yellow blotches and necrotic spots ...
Symptoms can overlap across causal agents, however differing signs and symptoms of certain pathogens can lead to the diagnosis of the type of leaf spot disease. Prolonged wet and humid conditions promote leaf spot disease and most pathogens are spread by wind, splashing rain or irrigation that carry the disease to other leaves. [2]
