Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum)
Septoria Leaf Spot (Sepotria chrysanthemella)
Symptoms
- Leaf spots occur during cool-wet periods of the rainy season.
- Since the pathogens are spread through rain splashes the lowermost leaves get infected first.
- Serious infection may result in premature withering of the leaves.
- The dead leaves hang to the stem for some time.
- When flowering starts the infection occurs on flower buds, which rot completely.
Management
- Destruction of disease debris and avoiding excessive irrigation is recommended.
