What is Plant Disease?
0 Any disturbance that interferes with normal growth, development, function, economic value, or aesthetic quality of a plant. (slightly modified from Schumann)
0 Plant Disease can be caused by two general groups of causal agents
0 Biotic (pathogens)
0 Abiotic

Late Blight on Tomato Fruit
![Page 15: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Survival of the late blight pathogen
0Only survives in living host tissues
0When the host dies, the late blight pathogen dies
0How does it survive from one season to another?
0 In seed tubers, over-wintering volunteers, cull piles
0Seed probably most important
0Difficult to see; seed not washed
0Late blight spreads during seed cutting
![Page 16: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Late Blight Sources
0 Infected Potato, Tomato, Petunia, Hairy nightshade
0 Family: Solanaceae
0 Home gardens can be source of infective propagules that threaten other small and large plantings
0 In some parts of the world, the pathogen can survive outside of the host as oospores – special structures that survive in soil for long periods of time
0 in Europe, Mexico
0 Not in US or Canada (at least, not that we know of!)

How the Pathogen Spreads 0 The late blight pathogen produces spores (infective
propagules) during cool, wet weather 0 Spores are microscopic and lemon-shaped
0 Moved by wind, especially during thunderstorms 0 Requires 12 hrs leaf wetness to infect (dew, mist, fog,
rain) 0 5-7 days from infection to symptoms and production
of new spores 0 Fragile, killed by hot dry weather and UV 0 Many cycles of spore production 0 Spores can fall to soil and produce swimming
zoospores that infect tubers

Late blight history in US (and probably Canada)
0 Sporadic since 1840s
0 1992 introduction of new strains from Mexico
0 In 1995, a more aggressive strain was identified
0 causes more tuber rot, can tolerate higher temperatures
0 Even more new strains identified in 2009 and 2010
0 The pathogen is extremely variable
![Page 20: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What happened in 2009? • Huge epidemic of late blight in
eastern US
• Source was late-blight infested tomatoes that were distributed to big box retail stores
• Weather was conducive
• Late blight spread rapidly in eastern US
• Both tomatoes and potatoes hit hard
• Home gardens and organic growers
• Later spread to the Midwest

What happened in our area in 2009?
0 Localized outbreaks of late blight in ND, SD, MB
0 First significant late blight infestations in five years
0 Found in mid August
0 In ND, limited to one or two counties in processing potatoes and garden tomatoes
0 Found in irrigated fields with volunteers (unusual for ND); may have been present in 2008 and not reported
![Page 22: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
0 Late blight was found EARLY 0 Found on tomatoes in retail stores in Manitoba in early June;
Winnipeg and Brandon
0 Reported in southern MI June 23
0 Detected in ND potato field June 24; earliest found since 1994
0 Reported in MB potato fields June 30
0 Reported in WI potato fields mid-July
0 Detected in one potato field in extreme NW MN July 21
0 Became widespread in eastern ND and southern MB
0 New strains were identified
0 Why did we have so much late blight in 2010?
What happened in our area in 2010?
![Page 23: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Get Ready Early for Late Blight
0 In 2011 late blight will likely be present 0 Infective propagules have built up over the past few
years and have probably survived over the winter in living hosts (weeds, tubers, potato cull piles, gardens)
0 Tuber infections were found at harvest and in storage
0 Some of the newer strains appear to be more aggressive
0 The disease was found in potato seed tuber production areas in MT, ND, WI, MB, SK, AB
0 So, get ready for late blight in 2011
0 Manage late blight before, during, and after the season
![Page 24: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Managing Late Blight
0Eliminate initial inoculum
0 No cull piles
0 No volunteers
0 Use certified disease-free tuber seed, but also check the tubers for symptoms before planting
0 Purchase tomato seedlings from reputable local growers; and do not purchase any that appear unhealthy
0 Consider starting your favorite tomato varieties from seed
![Page 25: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Managing Late Blight
0Keep foliage as dry as possible
0 Improve air flow by not planting too densely
0 Stake plants
0 Use mulch
![Page 26: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Managing Late Blight
0 Monitor gardens early and often for late blight
0 Remove and destroy infected plants as soon as they are observed during the growing season
0 Seal in plastic bags before discarding in trash, or
0 Burn the debris right away
0 Clean up the garden at the end of the season – remove all host plant parts and destroy
0 Do not compost late-bight infested plant material
![Page 27: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fungicides for Late Blight 0 Protect healthy plants – apply fungicides on a regular basis if late
blight is in the area
0 Chlorothalonil (such as Bravo or Ortho® Max Garden Disease Control)
0 Copper-based fungicides (such as Bordeaux mixture)
0 Some are approved for use in organic production
0 Every 5-7 days during cool, wet weather
0 Must be applied before symptoms are observed or as soon after as possible (these are not curative)
0 Not all fungicides have activity against the late blight pathogen
0 Use only fungicides labeled for late blight control on edible crops
![Page 28: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What About Using Resistant varieties?
0 Some resistant tomato varieties are listed in seed catalogs – these may provide some degree of resistance or tolerance, but may not be reliable (too many strains of the pathogen)
0 No commercial potato cultivars with good resistance are available
0 We can’t depend solely on resistance for control – the late blight pathogen is too variable
![Page 29: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Early Blight Caused by Alternia alternata
![Page 30: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Early Blight
0 Early blight (Alternaria) symptoms on tomato leaf
0 Note bullseye pattern of concentric rings –characteristic of early blight
0 While early blight is a damaging tomato disease, it is not as devastating as late blight
0 Control of early blight on tomatoes is essentially the same as for late blight

Downy Mildew of Grape Caused by Plasmopora viticola
![Page 36: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Downy Mildew – A (little) History
P.M.A. Millardet (a French botanist) first used Bordeaux mixture (copper sulfate and lime) to control downy mildew in the vineyards of France
He noticed that a copper sulphate-lime powder mixture that was sprinkled on grapevines along highways to prevent stealing of the grapes also controlled downy mildew
This observation led to the discovery and development of Bordeaux mixture

Downy Mildew – Symptoms
Early symptoms Initially,
leaf spots are pale yellow on upper surface
Note the white and downy growth mainly on the UNDERSIDES of leaves
![Page 38: Common Plant Diseases and Pests - North Dakota State ... · PDF fileCommon Plant Diseases and Pests 0 What is plant disease? 0 Late Blight of tomato and potato 0 Other Common Diseases](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5aba18587f8b9ab62f8ea4b0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Downy Mildew – Symptoms
As lesions age, they become a mosaic of yellow, red, and brown angular spots on the upper leaf surface.

Downy Mildew – Management 0Promote well-drained soils, Reduce overwintering
infective structures (oospores in fallen leaves, hyphae in buds), Prune out infected shoots
0Avoid overhead irrigation or practices that maintain wet foliage for extended periods of time
0Fungicides: 0 In the same group of ‘water mold’ organisms as the late blight
pathogen – so chlorothalonil and copper-based products are effective – apply before disease becomes established
0 Applications generally begin before budbreak or at ½-inch shoot length or before bloom (depending on the fungicide)

Snow Molds on Lawns Two common types:
‘Fusarium’ Pink Snow Mold ‘Typhula’ Grey Snow Mold
Yellowish patches; can appear
bleached
Circular patches of light yellow,
straw, or grayish brown turf
2 to 12 inches diameter 2 to 40 inches or more diameter
Under certain conditions,
cottony, off-white to faint pink
mold growth covers grass
Matted leaves often covered with
white to grayish-white mycelium
Pink color and absence of
sclerotia distinguish Pink Snow
Mold from Grey Snow Mold
Small, hard, spherical sclerotia
on or in leaf tissue
