Sigatoka in South Carolina?
 

Has anyone ever seen this in zone 8b-9a? My TC are looking suspicious. I will try to get a picture up soon.

What causes this?

Re: Sigatoka in South Carolina?
 

Yes, my TC plants had the same thing happen and I think it has more to do with sunlight/wind than any pathogen.

Good afternoon,

I get that in the winter when it is moist windy and cold. I don't think it is Sigatoka, but I am not a plant pathologist. Nicolas may be correct. :2239:

It doesn't look like Sigatoka to me, either. That normally starts affecting the plant on the 3rd or 4th leaf, not on the older growth. So, I have no idea what it is, but I'd wager that it's not Sig.

Apparently not. It is a kandrian or kandarian that grew well all last summer. It survived the long winter in the ground and is looking good for summer 2009.

Actually, I have Kandrians that are doing it right now and I got them from agristarts about 10 days ago, my Gran Nains did it as well back in late January. I was really worried about it at first, but once the plants got older they were fine. I have been on a really quick learning curve with tissue culture plantlets this year since I am taking so many of them out to the field.
