Strawberries: Leaf Blight

Leaf blight

Leaf blight is caused by the fungus Phomopsis obscurans. Symptoms start off as small, brown spots surrounded by a wide purple halo.

Strawberry leaf marked by spots with purple border and brown center. Spots are present between veins, and some lesions appear to be traveling along veins. Veins with lesions are slightly wider than surrounding veins, and have a purple tinge.

Lesions forming from the leaf margin inward are often v-shaped in appearance.

Strawberry leaves covered in purple spots with brown center. V-shaped purple discoloration spreading from leaf tips towards leaf center.
