Science - Agriculture / Botany | | German term or phrase: Dörrfleckenkrankheit | | I understand that it means "dry flaky sickness", but I need a specialised term for this. |
| | | gray speck, early blight | Explanation:
Very important to know what crop you're talking about, as Cetacea says. It seems that German uses Dörrfleckenkrankheit for two entirely different diseases: gray speck in oats is caused by a manganese deficiency, and early blight in tomatoes (and potatoes) is caused by the fungal pathogen Alternaria solani (I'm familiar with that one, as I lived and worked in a vegetable production area much of my life). The two web sites I gave you illustrate both German uses.
Gray speck disease or just gray speck generates a lot of hits, and they too say it's a disease in oats caused by a manganese deficiency. The terms are not interchangeable in English as is Doerrfleckenkrankheit in German. |
