Bacterial
Blight, also called Angular Leaf Spot, is a disease caused by the
bacterium, Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum . Bacterial Blight was
first described in the United States in 1891 and continues to be a major
disease of cotton throughout the world.
Cercospora
arachidicola is a fungal ascomycete plant pathogen that causes early leaf
spot of peanut. Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) originated in South
America and are cultivated globally in warm, temperate and tropical regions.
Late
Blight is caused by the fungus Phytophthora infestans. The disease is
initiated by fungus spores or "inoculum" produced on the surface of
living, infected plant tissue. Infected seed tubers, tomato transplants, potato cull
piles and/or other volunteer potatoes are extremely important sources
of inoculum.
Sugarcane (Saccharum
spp.) is a commercially important crop, vulnerable to fungal disease red
rot caused by Colletotrichum falcatum Went. The pathogen attacks sucrose
accumulating parenchyma cells of cane stalk leading to severe losses
in cane yield and sugar recovery.
