Type: Fungal Disease
Target: Leaves
Damage: Blister-like pustules on the upper surface of leaves
Environmental favorable factors for pests/Diseases:
  • Temperature: The ideal temperature range for rust development is between 68°F (20°C) and 86°F (30°C). Temperatures outside of this range can slow down or even inhibit the growth of the fungus.

  • Infected parts become distorted
