Ampelomyces quisqualis is a mycoparasite of powdery mildews. It overwinters or survives in the absence of a suitable host as pycnidia. Raindrops cause conidia to be expelled from ripe pycnidia and these may splash onto nearby powdery mildew. Infection is favoured by humid conditions and temperatures in the range 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F) and ...

M. diffusa infections on soybeans are referred to as powdery mildew. [1] Importance: Powdery mildew of soybeans is an important pathogen and tends to cause epidemics about every 10–15 years in Wisconsin. In 1975 the first epidemic there was observed and several have occurred since. [2] Powdery mildew affects the soybean plants.
In most powdery mildews only the epidermal cells are attacked. The external mycelium gives rise to short, erect conidiophores, each of which bears a single row of barrel-shaped spores, the youngest being at the base (the affected parts become thus covered with a forest of conidiophores assuming a white powdery appearance). The ripe spores ...
