Bacterial Leaf Spot
Bacterial Leaf Spot is a common plant disease caused by various bacteria, primarily affecting the leaves of plants like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Symptoms include small, dark spots on the leaves, which can expand and lead to yellowing and wilting. This disease thrives in warm, wet conditions and can spread through water, tools, or infected plant material.
To manage Bacterial Leaf Spot, it is essential to practice good garden hygiene, such as removing infected leaves and avoiding overhead watering. Using resistant plant varieties and ensuring proper spacing can also help reduce humidity around plants, minimizing the risk of infection.
