WHO CAUSES IT?
Didymella bryoniae is a phytopathogenic fungus that affects various cucurbits, causing the disease known as canker or gummy rot. The fungus can survive in soil and infected plant remains for long periods, waiting for favorable conditions to germinate. Didymella bryoniae produces spores that spread through air and water, infecting new plants. The fungus can invade plant tissues, including stems, leaves and fruits, causing the disease.
