Symptoms appear on the leaves as irregular, watery, browning spots. Infection to the fruit usually starts from infected flowers, lesions often appear depressed or rotten underneath, infection may remain latent until after harvesting, which with increasing temperatures leads to rapid rotting. Infection and symptoms may occur throughout the plant with the exception of the roots. Disease levels may increase due to mechanical damage, high relative humidities and high nitrogen fertilisation.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-scaled.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16312 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-291x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"291\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-291x300.jpg 291w, https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-995x1024.jpg 995w, https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-768x790.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-1492x1536.jpg 1492w, https:\/\/www.cultivospima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Stagonosporopsis-cucurbitacearum-1990x2048.jpg 1990w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nUpper left part lesions on the stem and leaves,<strong> A<\/strong> Host pseudotheory group, <strong>B<\/strong> Pseudothecium under the microscope, <strong>C-D<\/strong> Asci with ascospores, <strong>E-F<\/strong> Ascosporas, <strong>G<\/strong> Ascospora germinated,<strong> H<\/strong> Cologne in MEA 2%., I Pycnidium on host, <strong>J-K<\/strong> Conidia emerging from the conidiogenous cell, <strong>L<\/strong> Group of conidia.<br \/>\nScale: A 50 \u00b5m, B 20 \u00b5m, C-D 10 \u00b5m, E-G 5 \u00b5m, I 50 \u00b5m, J-L 5 \u00b5m<br \/>\n<strong>DESCRIPTION<\/strong><br \/>\nSexual form: Pseudothecium subepidermal, sparse to numerous, erumpent, superficial when host epidermis is detached, subglobose, 110-240 \u00b5m wide x 100-170 \u00b5m high (n=30), dark brown, ostiole 10-30 \u00b5m wide (n=30), papillate.
