During the season these type of diseases are a none issue as we are routinely applying the proper fungicides to prevent theses diseases from becoming active. However, early in the season we are trying to delay applying these fungicides, thus we see the signs of the disease becoming active. Once the proper fungicides are applied, the healing process begins and within a 7-10 days the plant recovers.
