Disease of sugar beet caused by Peronospora farinosa (formerly P. schachtii). 4, record 2, English, - sugar%20beet%20downy%20mildew
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Symptoms : All aboveground plant parts may be affected. Large, light green leaf spots develop on the upper leaf surfaces. Under moist conditions, a white to gray moldy appears on the lower or upper leaf surfaces. Affected leaves may wilt, then die. If environmental conditions become unfavorable for downy mildew, plants may show recovery by developing healthy leaves, or other pathogens may be encouraged. During fall wet periods, most young petioles or leaves are covered with a fungal growth that often moves into the crown. Crown infections may permit other root-decay organisms to invade the plant. Crown infection causes excessive leaf proliferation which in turn causes misshapen bulbs. 5, record 2, English, - sugar%20beet%20downy%20mildew

Le mildiou de la betterave est une maladie des régions tempérées humides. Il se développe préférentiellement en conditions humides et relativement froides. Le champignon s'étend de façon systémique dans la plante et produit de nombreuses spores qui sont disséminées par la pluie. [Il] provoque un épaississement des feuilles du cœur. Ces feuilles s'enroulent et se couvrent, principalement à la face inférieure, d'un duvet violacé. Au cours de leur croissance, les feuilles extérieures pâlissent et se dessèchent. 3, record 2, French, - mildiou%20de%20la%20betterave

Le terme utilisé en français est «mildiou de la betterave» même s'il est plus générique car le pathogène de cette maladie ne cause pas seulement le mildiou sur la betterave à sucre mais aussi sur les autres types de betteraves. Comme il s'agit de la même maladie (symptômes identiques), le français ne fait pas de distinction selon le type de betterave affectée. 2, record 2, French, - mildiou%20de%20la%20betterave

The plant responds to damaging temperatures by producing an area of corky tissue surrounding the damaged skin cells. This may result in a number of discrete areas of corky cells(russet), a network of joined corky areas(net russetting) or larger complete areas of corky tissue(frost lick and frost eye or frost ring). As the developing fruit expands and the fruit skin produces more cells the corky areas are unable to respond in the same way and tend to split and produce more corky tissue. The damaged area thus increases in size as the fruit grows. Where the corky area is extensive, e. g. frost eye and frost lick, the fruit development may be compromised resulting in misshapen fruit. 2, record 7, English, - frost%20ring
