| Powdery mildew or rusty spot of peach - Sphaeroteca pannosa (Wallr.:Fr.) Lév | |||
| IPM scouting in stone fruits > powdery mildew or rusty spot of peach | |||
| This disease is found sporadically on peach in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S. White circular spots on young fruit (top photo) expand in size and later the mycelium may slough off, leaving a russeted patch with dead epidermal cells (bottom photos). The russeted area expands as the fruit enlarges. Leaves and shoots are superficially covered with white, felt-like mycelium and eventually become distorted and stunted. | |||
