blossom blight
Blossom blight is a plant disease that primarily affects flowering plants, particularly those in the apple and pear families. It is caused by various fungal pathogens, which can lead to the wilting and browning of blossoms. This condition can significantly reduce fruit yield and quality if not managed properly.
The disease often thrives in wet conditions, making it crucial for gardeners and farmers to monitor their plants during rainy seasons. Effective management strategies include proper pruning, ensuring good air circulation, and applying fungicides when necessary to protect the blossoms from infection.
