DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Downy mildew is a disease caused by fungi of the genus Peronospora, one of the most common being Peronospora sparsa. This pathogen affects a wide variety of plants, including cannabis. It manifests itself as pale yellow Taches on the leaves, which eventually turn into necrotic Taches surrounded by a yellow halo, and finally into a powdery white mold on the underside of the leaves.
SYMPTOMS
In cannabis, downy mildew can cause yellow Taches on the leaves, which then turn brown and necrotic. These Taches can spread quickly, covering large areas of the plant. Additionally, a white, powdery mold can be seen on the underside of infected leaves, indicating an advanced infestation.
