Phytophthora: The Silent Threat to Our Fruits and Trees. 🍠🍊🌳 From Potatoes to Citrus, Phytophthora species wreak havoc. Potato Late Blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, turns lush vegetable plots in Hampshire, England into a scene of decay in August. Brown Rot, caused by Phytophthora citrophthora, ruins tangerines during post-harvest storage. Tomatoes succumb to Phytophthora infestans, turning green fruit into a canvas of discoloration. But it's not just vegetables. Phytophthora Bleeding Canker strikes Horse Chestnut trees, causing leaves to wilt and trunks to bleed, from young saplings to majestic 150-year-old giants in Hanbury, Tutbury. 🌲 These microscopic organisms thrive in water-logged soil and moist conditions, making them a global threat to agriculture and forestry. Stay vigilant, practice good hygiene, and protect your crops and trees from this relentless enemy.
