Leaf spots reduce the surface area available on leaves for photosynthesis and so can result in smaller growth and yield of plants. Weakened plants may produce lesser fruit. Virus caused leaf spots reduces chlorophyll in the leaves, resulting in less photosynthetic activity.
This disease affects strawberry plant foliage causing purple spots 1 ⁄ 8 to 1 ⁄ 4 in (3.2 to 6.4 mm) in diameter across on the upper side of the leaves. [3] At first, the whole spot is purple but as the disease matures the center of the leaf spots on older leaves become tan or gray, then almost white. Lesions on younger leaves remain light ...

Theses leaf spots are an orange-brown rust in color and usually occur entirely on the upper leaf surface, although leaf spots on the undersides of infected leaves have been reported. The spots are fuzzy in texture and approximately 2 cm (0.8 in) in diameter. [2] In some cases, commonly in more susceptible hosts, stem and fruit spots can occur ...
Blight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs. [1] Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. Several notable examples are: [citation needed]
Once it enters the plant through a leaf's stomata or necrotic spots on either leaves or woody tissue then the disease will start. [17] The pathogen will then exploit and grow in intercellular space causing the leaf spots and cankers. P. syringae can also survive in temperatures slightly below freezing. These below freezing temperatures increase ...
Cercospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. Most species have no known sexual stage, and when the sexual stage is identified, it is in the genus Mycosphaerella. [2] Most species of this genus cause plant diseases, and form leaf spots.
Symptoms of infection include a downward curling of the leaves, leaf tip dieback, stunting, necrosis of growing leaf tips, sunken 'chicken pox-like' spots on leaves (often with a surrounding halo), stem death and yellowing. [7] Since these symptoms are so generic, extreme caution must be taken when introducing new plants to your greenhouse.
