SEPTCU
Septoria cucurbitacearum is a fungal pathogen that infects cucurbits, causing leaf spot disease. It produces small, circular to angular lesions on leaves that may coalesce, leading to defoliation and reduced fruit quality. The fungus is seed- and debris-borne and spreads primarily through rain splash or irrigation.
