WHO CAUSES IT?
Stemphylium vesicarium is a phytopathogenic fungus that affects various crops, including onion, causing a disease known as leaf blight. This fungus can survive in the remains of infected plants and in the soil. It produces spores (conidia) that spread easily through the air, infecting new plants. The fungus thrives in humid, warm conditions, and the spores can be dispersed through water droplets and wind, promoting the spread of the disease.
