pelargonii can infect zonal geraniums (Pelargonium x hortorum), ivy geraniums. Rogue out symptomatic plants immediately. Bacterial blight of geraniums caused by Xanthomonas hortorum pv. Do not grow hardy (perennial) Geranium species near greenhouse crops of Pelargoniums. Do not hang ivy geraniums over a bench or floor crop of geraniums. It is by Mary Ann Hansen at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Keep stock from different suppliers separate, and grow seedling geraniums separate from cutting crops. Image 5336074 is of geranium (Pelargonium spp. Subirrigation may spread the disease from root system to root system. Skip to the beginning of the images gallery This disease is caused by a bacterium named Xanthomonas campestris pv. The organism is easily spread by splashing water. JSkip to the end of the images gallery V-shaped yellowing that ends on the vein. Grow culture-indexed cuttings only, and grow stock plants using individual tube watering systems. Cultures of nutrient media showing any fungus or bacterial growth are discarded along with the cuttings from which the slices were removed. Culture indexing is performed by specialists and involves removing thin slices obtained aseptically from the base of a cutting and placing the slices in a nutrient medium.
Xanthomonas-free material for cuttings is assured through careful culture indexing. Plants in other families than the Geraniaceae are not susceptible. Hybrid “seed” geraniums can become badly diseased if they are grown with an infested cutting crop. Hardy Geranium species may be a source of bacteria that can cause disease on greenhouse crops of Pelargonium species. Small, water-soaked areas form initially on leaf edges, at stomates and at wounds occasionally. Zonal and ivy geraniums are most likely to develop symptoms of this disease a few cases of leaf spots on Regal geraniums have been observed. Leaf spots and foliar blights are the most common symptoms of diseases caused by Acidovorax, Pseudomonas and Xanthomonas.
In hot weather, the bacteria spread from infected leaves into the stem, becoming systemic and killing the plant. The disease can cause black dieback of growing points and stem cankers at the base of the petioles. diameter) or a wedge-shaped yellow area often followed by leaf wilting. Leaf symptoms are either an overall tiny spotting (1/16 _1/8 in. pelargonii, which can cause leaf spots as well as systemic infections in geraniums. Bacterial blight is caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv.
