Diamond spot
Causal organism: Cercospora hayi and Fusarium spp.
Raised, yellow spots of 3-5 mm on the peel is the first symptoms. The infected cells are unable to expand as the fruit develops and as a result, a longitudinal crack develops, surrounded by a yellow halo. These spots then show characteristic diamond necrotic spots. Pulp may be exposed in some cases. |
