DESCRIPTION

Pathogen description

The leaf miner is a common pest on cannabis plants, caused by the larvae of various insects, such as flies, that feed on the internal tissues of the leaves. These larvae, when feeding, create galleries or tunnels inside the leaves, which can weaken the plant and make it more susceptible to other diseases and pests.

Disease description

Symptoms of leafminer attack on cannabis include the presence of small galleries or tunnels visible on the inside of the leaves, which resemble sinuous or serpentine lines. Additionally, discolored, dry or necrotic areas may be observed around the galleries, as well as a decrease in overall plant health and vigor.
