'Plant Pathology 369 - Southern Corn Leaf Blight Key words: Plant Disease, Bipolaris maydis, Helminthosporium maydis, Cochliobolus heterostrophus, Corn, Sorghum, Teosinte'. 5th ed, Burlington, MA: Elsevier Academic Press. When blights have been particularly vast and consequential in their effects, they have become named historical events, such as the 19th Century Potato Blight, also known locally from its primary consequence as the Great famine, the Great Famine of Ireland, and Highland Potato Famine, and the near extinction of the Bermuda cedar during the 1940s and 1950s in the event described as The Blight or The Cedar Blight.

For example, Colletotrichum blight is named after the fungus Colletotrichum capsici, and Phytophthora blight is named after the water mold Phytophthora parasitica. However, leaf spots may, in advanced stages, expand to kill entire areas of leaf tissue and thus exhibit blight symptoms.īlights are often named after their causative agent. On leaf tissue, symptoms of blight are the initial appearance of lesions which rapidly engulf surrounding tissue. South American leaf blight, caused by the ascomycete Pseudocercospora ulei, also called Microcyclus ulei, ended the cultivation of the rubber tree ( Hevea brasiliensis) in South America.Bur oak blight, caused by the fungal pathogen Tubakia iowensis.Ascochyta species and Alternaria triticina that causes blight in wheat

Early blight of potato and tomato, caused by species of the ubiquitous fungal genus Alternaria.Bacterial seedling blight of rice ( Oryza sativa), caused by pathogen Burkholderia plantarii.Bacterial leaf blight of rice, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae (Uyeda & Ishiyama) Dowson.Fire blight of pome fruits, caused by the bacterium Erwinia amylovora (Burrill) Winslow et al., is the most severe disease of pear and also is found in apple and raspberry, among others.Citrus blight, caused by an unknown agent, infects all citrus scions.Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) Barr, has nearly completely eradicated mature American chestnuts in North America.Southern corn leaf blight, caused by the fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus (Drechs.) Drechs, anamorph Bipolaris maydis (Nisikado & Miyake) Shoemaker, incited a severe loss of corn in the United States in 1970.Late blight of potato, caused by the water mold Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, the disease which led to the Great Irish Famine.Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. For the barley blight, see Bacterial blight (barley).īlight refers to a specific symptom affecting plants in response to infection by a pathogenic organism.īlight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs. Avoid excessive amounts of spray solution that result in runoff.'Bacterial blight' redirects here. Use sufficient spray solution to ensure complete coverage. Under severe disease conditions and periods of heavy rain, apply immediately after rainfall, and use the higher application rate of 2 quarts of AGRIPHAGE-FIRE BLIGHT per acre. Restricted-Entry Interval (REI) of 4 hours.Īpply as a preventive to protect the blossoms from pink through petal fall.May be applied up to and including the day of harvest. AgriPhage Fire Blight should be sprayed as soon as temperatures exceed 70 degrees onto the tree surface as well as through the bloom cycle.ĪgriPhage is not phytotoxic and will not negatively affect beneficial organisms. Large seeping wounds are generally seen as sources of inoculum that spread to infect and damage blossoms, severely lowering fruit yields. Disease can usually be found in apple and pear trees on stems, blossoms and rootstock. Fire Blight is caused by Erwinia amylovora.
