DOWNY LEAFSPOT,
MICROSTROMA JUGLANDIS (BERANG.) SAC.
Description Downy leafspot,
also known as white mold, is characterized by small, white fuzzy areas on the
lower surface of walnut leaves and pale yellow spots on the upper surface. The
white fuzzy areas often fuse together so that almost the entire lower leaf
surface may appear to be covered with a white powder.
Injury The disease is of
little significance because it does not kill the leaves or cause
defoliation.
Control No control is
recommended.
