Cylindrocladium scoparium
Cylindrocladium scoparium is a fungal pathogen that primarily affects plants, particularly in the family Ericaceae. It is known to cause leaf spot diseases, leading to reduced plant vigor and aesthetic damage. This fungus thrives in warm, humid conditions and can spread rapidly through spores.
The disease caused by Cylindrocladium scoparium can be managed through proper cultural practices, such as improving air circulation and avoiding overhead watering. Chemical fungicides may also be used as a control measure, but integrated pest management strategies are recommended for effective long-term solutions.
