Which of the following is a type of plant disease?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Blight.
- Common on tomato and potato plants, early blight is caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, and occurs throughout the United States.
- Symptoms first appear on the lower, older leaves as small brown spots with concentric rings that form a “bull’s eye” pattern.
- As the disease matures, it spreads outward on the leaf surface causing it to turn yellow, wither and die.
