First report of powdery mildew on Echeveria agavoides in India
Plant Pathology 58 (6), 1172-1172
Abstract: During 2008, ornamental Echeveria agavoides plants grown in India were observed with symptoms of greyish white circular patches consisting of epiphytic mycelia and conidia, mostly on the upper surface of leaves. Almost 70% of the plants surveyed were found infected in one location. A fungus of the genus Oidium was isolated from the diseased plants. The identification was based on morphological characteristics and ITS sequence analysis. Pathogenicity of the isolates was demonstrated by inoculation.
