How to Manage Pests

Pests in Gardens and Landscapes

Pest identification and confirmation—Powdery mildew

On plants infected with powdery mildew spots of dead tissue, sometimes with rings like those in early blight lesions, may appear in the blotches. However, there are no lesions on stems or fruit, and there is no vascular discoloration as with Verticillium or Fusarium wilt. Rarely, a gray mycelium develops on the leaf surface.
