A study of ribosomal DNA from 33 samples of oak powdery mildew from Europe showed that E. alphitoides contains identical sequences to Oïdium mangiferae, a major disease of mango in several tropical regions and Oïdium heveae, an economically important pathogen of the para rubber tree.
Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that affects a wide range of plants. Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales . Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as the signs of the causal pathogen are quite distinctive.
Erysiphe platani, also known as sycamore powdery mildew, is a fungus native to North America that now infects sycamore tree species worldwide. [2] Infections may spread rapidly in urban settings with large groups of young trees or in plant nurseries. [3] This mildew thrives when there are high humidity conditions during the growing season.

That’s powdery mildew, a fungus that affects a wide range of fruits, vegetables and flowers, coating their leaves, stems, blossoms and, in severe cases, entire plants. It isn’t pretty.
Powdery mildew causes a white powdery growth to cover the leaves of the hot pepper plant. These leaves may drop prematurely and as with bacterial spot can then cause sunscald. [110] This disease has been known to cause yield losses as high as 50–60% in untreated fields. [111] The prime fungicide used to control powdery mildew is myclobutanil.
A fungus can cause reddish spots which drop out leaving shot holes. Once the holes appear the leaves may fall from the tree and the disease is worse in wet weather. Black knot can cause black swellings or galls on the branches. Powdery mildew can cause a white coating on the leaves.
Oidium mangiferae is a plant pathogen that infects mango trees causing powdery mildew. [1] Powdery mildew of mango is an Ascomycete pathogen of the Erysiphales family that was initially described by Berthet in 1914, using samples collected from Brazil. [2]
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 ...
