Fact Sheet: Stemphylium leaf blight in onions
Fact sheet
Pests diseases and biosecurity
Onions
Stemphylium leaf blight, caused by Stemphylium vesicarium, is a fungal pathogen that affects onions. Spores are spread via wind, rain and contaminated tools or machinery, and survive on plant debris and overwinter in the soil. The fungus presents itself as yellow spots on leaves that expand, causing dieback and reducing yields. Therefore, it’s important to detect the disease early and reduce its impact.
