Anthracnose is a group of fungal diseases that affect a wide variety of plants in warm, humid areas. Anthracnose disease can cause significant yield losses, sometimes up to 80% or more, depending on the crop and the severity of the infection. This is because the disease can damage leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits, reducing the plant's ability to produce food.

- Dark, pinhead-sized structures on the stems, pods, and leaves. These are the fruiting bodies of the fungus, which produce spores that can spread the disease to other plants pest control near me.
