Leaves |
Affected shoots bend easily, wither and die. New shoots emerge lower in the tree or plant producing branches that look like mistletoe on the shoot tips. Because shoots do not mature, fruit setting and flowering are either totally absent, or impaired (3) Look sticky with tiny white patches of mould which later join up (337) Turn brown to black and wilt quickly (337) White coat on underside of leaves that can be wiped off (337) Grey to grey-vilolet coating underneath leaves (337) Blackish spots. Brown leaves which wilt quickly. Blackish mould layer. (337) Turn brown to black and wilt quickly (337) black star-shaped spots on green leaves after damp and humidity (337) Slowed down beetles (1810)

Notes and Academic Papers |
Worse from damp (337) Insects, plants in general. Important 'pesticide' for cabbage, eggplant, squashes, cucumber, potato, wine vines, and fruit trees. (1810) In warm and humid spring weather a lilac showed wilting and blackening blossoms. Sprayed foliage and blossoms (sparingly) with Cuprum 30c in water, one time. Due to lack of time, the diseased tissues were not removed. In the following weeks the blossoms dried up. No further evidence of disease. One month later the considerable amount of new growth looks perfectly healthy. (1534)
