Corynespora leaf spot
Corynespora leaf spot is a plant disease caused by the fungus Corynespora cassiicola. It primarily affects a variety of crops, including soybeans, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The disease is characterized by small, dark spots on the leaves, which can lead to premature leaf drop and reduced plant vigor.
The spread of Corynespora leaf spot is facilitated by warm, humid conditions. Effective management strategies include crop rotation, proper spacing of plants, and the use of fungicides when necessary. Early detection and treatment are crucial to minimize damage and maintain healthy crops.
