Pseudomonas cichorii is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes leaf spot, blight, and rot on many crops such as lettuce and celery. It thrives in cool, moist environments and spreads mainly through splashing water, rain, or contaminated tools and hands. It survives on plant surfaces and debris. Transmission is favored by high humidity and overhead irrigation, leading to rapid spread and characteristic brown, water-soaked leaf lesions.
Main: celery, endives, chicory, lettuce, adzuki bean; Other: numerous in the Asteraceae and Brassicaceae families.
