Common crops affected
Why it matters
It blights foliage and pods and can be seed-borne. Bacterial diseases can't be cured once tissue is infected — rely on clean seed, rotation, and sanitation, with protective inputs supporting.
When it appears
Warm, wet, windy weather.
How to identify it
- Water-soaked angular spots, often with yellow halos
- Spots merging into blighted dead patches in wet weather
- Streaking on stems; infected seed in some crops
How to manage it
- Use clean seed and resistant varieties; rotate; avoid working wet plants.
- Remove infected debris.
- Use Spore Control as a supporting protective input during wet, high-risk periods.

Integrated management. This is a bacterial / no-cure or indirect problem — Vegalab products play a supporting role in an integrated program (plant health, prevention, protection) and are not a cure. Combine with sanitation, clean material, rotation and cultural controls.
