Disease fungi take their energy from the plants on which they live. They are responsible for a great deal of
damage and are characterized by wilting, scabs, moldy coatings, rusts, blotches and rotted tissue. This
page is designed to help identify some of the more common plant diseases and provides earth-friendly
solutions (see organic fungicides) for combatting them. Click on the links or pictures below to learn more.
Anthracnose
Generally found in the eastern part of the U.S., anthracnose infected plants develop dark lesions on stems,
leaves or fruit.

Apple Scab
Symptoms on fruit are similar to those found on leaves. Scabby spots are sunken and may have velvety
spores in the center.
view all
Bacterial Canker
Infection causes sunken, oozing cankers to form on many stone fruits. May cause wilting or death of
branches or trees.
