Symptom Identification and Control Methods of Ginger Anthracnose
Ginger anthracnose. On infected leaves, nearly circular or irregular water-soaked chlorotic lesions first appear mostly from the leaf tip or leaf margin, later joining together into irregular large patches; in severe cases the leaves may dry up. When humid, small blackish, slightly rough granular dots grow on the lesions, namely the pathogen's acervuli. The disease can also attack stems and leaf tips, forming short stripe-shaped lesions on stems and leaf tips that likewise bear small black dots; in severe cases the leaves may droop but remain green.
