Pepper stip (meaning speck in German), also referred to as color speck or colour spotting outside the US, is considered a physiological disorder of pepper. The disorder is believed to be related to high calcium status with levels of NH3-N and K playing a role. This 3-page factsheet of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department summarizes known symptoms, causes, and potential environmental stressors that may result in stip development on peppers. Written by Camille McAvoy and Pamela Roberts.

Pestalotiopsis-like fungi cause diseases on many different species of plants worldwide, including strawberry. The pathogen is not necessarily new to strawberry and was first reported causing fruit rot in Florida and Israel in the 1970s. However, during the 2018–19 and 2019–20 strawberry seasons, severe and unprecedented outbreaks were reported in Florida, characterized by symptoms on nearly all plant parts including roots, crowns, petioles, fruit, and leaves. This new 4-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department describes the disease and its causal agent and briefly covers what is known about disease development and control practices. This document will provide valuable information to strawberry nursery and fruit production growers. Written by Juliana S. Baggio and Natalia A. Peres.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp357

The majority of plant health problems categorized as plant diseases are caused by microorganisms. As the name implies, these are extremely tiny disease agents that ordinarily require a microscope to be seen. The very minute size of these disease-causing pathogens accounts for the mystery that often surrounds their presence and impact in the garden. The pathogenic microorganisms that attack garden vegetables, including pepper, can be classified into three major groups: fungi, bacteria, and viruses. This document is Fact Sheet PP-201, one of a series of the Plant Pathology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Services, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. Published July 2004. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp122

There are many pathogens that can cause bud rots of palm in Florida. The most common one is Phytophthora palmivora, followed by Thielaviopsis paradoxa and bacteria. Symptoms of bud rot are similar no matter which pathogen causes the disease. This document is PP-220, one of a series of the Plant Pathology Department, UF/IFAS Extension. Original publication date January 2006. PP-220/PP144: Bud Rot of Palm (ufl.edu)

Pomegranate production is becoming increasingly popular in the Southeast. Florida’s humid subtropical to tropical climate is favorable for not only pomegranate tree establishment, but also several diseases. This new 5-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department, written by Katia V. Xavier, Achala N. KC, and Gary E. Vallad, describes the various diseases affecting pomegranate in Florida and provides some management recommendations. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp349

Tobamoviruses are mechanically transmitted plant viruses that cause severe economic damage to vegetable and ornamental crops in Florida and worldwide. While certain tomato cultivars have genetic resistance to the most common tobamoviruses, no commercial tomato cultivars are resistant to tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a recently described tobamovirus that also infects pepper and eggplant. It is currently unknown how ToBRFV may affect tomato production in Florida. This new 5-page publication of the UF/IFAS Plant Pathology Department describes symptoms of the virus, how it is different from other tobamoviruses, and how it is transmitted, as well as what to do if you think you have ToBRFV in your field. Written by Ozgur Batuman, Salih Yilmaz, Pamela Roberts, Eugene McAvoy, Samuel Hutton, Kishore Dey, and Scott Adkins.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pp360
