Diseases of yellow pulp watermelon
Phytophthora blight is one of the main diseases of watermelon, which occurs in all watermelon producing areas and mainly harms leaves, stems and vines. When the leaves are infected, dark green water spots will appear, which are round or irregular. When the humidity is high, the leaves rot or burn like boiling water.
When the stem base and petiole are infected, dark green spots will appear in the water, soft tissue rot will occur when the humidity is high, and grayish brown dry rot tissue will appear when it is dry. The suitable temperature for onset is 20-30 degrees. Pathogen spreads with airflow, rain or irrigation water, and it is easy to get sick when plants are dense, humid and poorly ventilated.
Stem blight, also known as yellow water disease, mainly harms stems, vines, leaves and petioles. The onset of leaf diseases mostly starts from the leaf edge, and round or oval brown spots will be formed on the leaves. Infected vines will produce waterlogging spots near the stem nodes, and the vines will gradually crack. In severe cases, yellow-brown mucus will flow from the diseased part, which will form a deep red jelly shape after drying, and then the vines will gradually wither.
