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.

Downy mildew of grape can be a serious disease in ... vineyards. This fungus disease develops whenever weather during the growing season is moist and temperatures are cool to moderate. The downy mildew fungus attacks leaves, fruit, shoots and tendrils. The disease may cause premature defoliation in mid to late summer that results in a weakening of the plant and reduced sugar content of the fruit. 2, record 3, English, - downy%20mildew%20of%20grape

On leaves, young infections appear as very small, greenish-yellow, translucent spots that are difficult to see. With time, the lesions enlarge and a white moldy growth composed of fungus threads(mycelium) and spores form on the undersides of the leaves. If lesions are numerous they may merge and cover most of the leaf. Infected leaves eventually turn brown, become dry and drop. Exposed berries may be scalded by the sun. If vines are defoliated before the ripening period, grapes may not mature normally. 2, record 3, English, - downy%20mildew%20of%20grape

Le mildiou de la vigne est une maladie indigène de l'Amérique du Nord causée par le champignon Plasmopara viticola. Cette maladie infecte la plupart des espèces du genre Vitis (vigne). Les cultivars de l'espèce vinifera y sont très sensibles alors que les espèces sauvages y sont relativement résistantes. Le mildiou peut causer des dommages directs à la vigne en provoquant la déformation des pousses, des vrilles et des grappes ou en provoquant la chute prématurée des feuilles, ce qui retarde le mûrissement des fruits et augmente la vulnérabilité de la vigne aux blessures par l'hiver. 2, record 3, French, - mildiou%20de%20la%20vigne
