ABSTRACT
Symptoms Leaf spots rst appear as small, water-soaked, or light-green areas on leaets. They later become dry and brown. This disease is characterized by many brown, dry, and raised spots on the leaf surface (Photo 3.1). The spots may join to affect much of leaf surface, eventually killing the leaet. When the disease is severe, several such spots coalesce and the leaves become yellow and fall off prematurely. The lower surface of the leaf appears red in color due to the formation of raised spots. Similar watersoaked spots develop on pods where the spot margin is with a shade of red. Severely diseased pods shrivel. In humid weather, a yellowish crust of the blight bacteria covers the spot surface.
