Leaf Spot (fungi--Cercospora spp., Phyllosticta spp.) These fungi cause spots of various sizes on leaves throughout the year. Spots may be small, dark-brown necrotic areas surrounded by a yellow halo. In severe cases, premature leaf drop may occur. Control is obtained by spraying with a folia fungicide at regular intervals. Thanks for any help. |
