Bacterial Spot
Bacterial Spot is a plant disease caused by specific bacteria, primarily affecting crops like tomatoes and peppers. It is characterized by small, dark spots on leaves, stems, and fruits, which can lead to wilting and reduced yield. The disease thrives in warm, wet conditions and can spread through water, tools, and infected plant material.
Management of Bacterial Spot involves practices such as crop rotation, using resistant varieties, and maintaining proper sanitation in the garden. Chemical treatments may also be applied, but they are most effective when combined with good cultural practices to minimize the disease's impact.
