Halo blight causes small water-soaked spots on leaves. These spot progressively turn dark brown and are surrounded by a wide greenish yellow halo.

For best results, repot your plants in spring and choose a well-draining pot that’s just one or two sizes larger than the pot your plant is growing in. If the peace lily’s roots are tangled in ...
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...
Lethal yellowing (LY) is a phytoplasma disease that attacks many species of palms, including some commercially important species, such as the coconut and date palm.In the Caribbean, it is spread by the planthopper Haplaxius crudus (former name Myndus crudus) which is native to Florida, parts of the Caribbean, parts of Australia and Central America.

Seed dormancy is an evolutionary adaptation that prevents seeds from germinating during unsuitable ecological conditions that would typically lead to a low probability of seedling survival. [1] Dormant seeds do not germinate in a specified period of time under a combination of environmental factors that are normally conducive to the germination ...
Leaves turn yellow, wilt, turn brown and shrivel. White cottony growth on the stem. Can also affect heads. Plant may die. Don't plant safflower with other plants susceptible to S. sclerotiorum. Verticillum wilt Verticillum wilt: At any stage of growth. Leaves turn darker green than those of healthy plants. In older plants on lower leaves first.
An albino corn plant with no chlorophyll (left) beside a normal plant (right) In botany, chlorosis is a condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll.As chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of leaves, chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white.
Upon favorable moist and warm conditions, conidia (the primary inoculum) are released from lesions of an infected corn plant and carried to nearby plants via wind or splashing rain. Once conidia have landed on the leaf or sheath of a healthy plant, Bipolaris maydis will germinate on the tissue by way of polar germ tubes .
