Yaman (syn. <em>S. floridanum<\/em> Hannon &amp; G. F. Weber) and <em>S. botryosum <\/em>Wallr. f. sp. <em>lycopersici<\/em> Rotem, Y. Cohen, &amp; I. Wahl.\u00a0 Gray leaf spot is regarded one of the most destructive diseases of tomato in the southeastern United States and throughout the world wherever warm and humid conditions prevail (Jones &amp; Pernezny, 2014).<\/p>\n<p>Gray leaf spot disease has been reported from several countries worldwide including the United States (<em>see<\/em> \u2018Worldwide Distribution\u2019). In the United States, the disease was first observed in 1924 and by 1928 had spread throughout Florida causing widespread defoliation. Since then, the pathogen has been reported from several states but has never been reported from California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease development<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 The disease begins in infested seedbeds and transplant houses or field-transplanted seedlings, usually when the plants are in the first true-leaf stage of growth.\u00a0 Cotyledons are not severely infected. \u00a0\u00a0The pathogen is spread when infected seedlings are transplanted to fields.\u00a0 Conidia (asexual spores) can be spread over extensive distances by wind. The teleomorph or sexual stage of <em>S. solani <\/em>is not known.\u00a0 The disease is favored by warm temperatures (24-27\u00b0C) and high humidity. Spore germination and infection of plant are dependent on the presence of free moisture (dew or rain) (Jones &amp; Pernezny, 2014).\u00a0 Leaf wetness is considered more important than temperature in establishment of infection (Cerkauskas, 2005).\u00a0 <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> survives as a saprophyte on infected plant debris or on volunteer tomato, pepper, gladiolus, blue lupine, and other wild solanaceous plants.\u00a0 In the southern state climates, the pathogen remains viable on tomato plants which are grown throughout the year (Jones &amp; Pernezny, 2014). \u00a0The pathogen can be seedborne (Koike <em>et al.<\/em>, 2007).<\/p>\n<p><em>Dispersal and spread:<\/em> Infected plants, seedlings, and plant debris.\u00a0 Conidia may be wind-blown over extensive areas or by splashing water (Jones &amp; Pernezny, 2014).<\/p>\n<p><em>Hosts:<\/em> Hosts of <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> are included primarily in the plant family Solanaceae.\u00a0 Numerous other plant families are also included with their associated hosts, including Amaryllidaceae (<em>Allium<\/em> sp.), Asteraceae (<em>Lactuca<\/em> sp.), and Malvaceae (<em>Gossypium<\/em> <em>hirsutum<\/em>).\u00a0 Hosts include, <em>Aegiceras corniculatum<\/em> (black mangrove), <em>Allium sativum<\/em> (garlic), <em>Aster<\/em> sp.

As the spots enlarge, the centers turn gray, eventually dry, crack, and fall out.\u00a0 Frequently, at this stage entire leaves conspicuously turn yellow, especially if the infection is severe, and die rapidly, turning brown before dropping from the plants. \u00a0Seedbed infections result in marked defoliation without conspicuous yellowing (Jones &amp; Pernezny, 2014; Damicone &amp; Brandenberger, 2015).\u00a0 In garlic, early symptoms of <em>S. solani<\/em> infection were observed as white spots (1-3 mm), which enlarged to sunken purple lesions, extending until the leaves withered (Zheng <em>et al<\/em>., 2008).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential:\u00a0 <\/em>Gray leaf spot almost entirely affects leaves, and defoliation can be severe reducing available photosynthetic areas of infected plants thereby, resulting in reductions in plant development, quality, and fruit yields. \u00a0In China, garlic leaf blight caused by <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> affected over 7,000 ha of field production and reduced yields up to 70% (Zheng <em>et al<\/em>., 2010). \u00a0During 1994 and 1995, a severe epidemic of leaf blight of cotton in Brazil resulted in yield losses up to 100% in some commercial fields (Mehta, 1998). Gray leaf spot disease limited tomato production in Venezuela and Malaysia (Cade\u00f1o &amp; Carrero, 1997; Nasehi <em>et al.,<\/em> 2012). \u00a0\u00a0In California, processing tomatoes are grown in the warm and dry San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys while fresh-market tomatoes are grown in the San Joaquin Valley, Central Valley, Central and Southern Coastal regions and the Imperial Valley.\u00a0 It is less likely that <em>S. solani<\/em> will be able establish under warm and dry regions of the state\u2019s tomato production acreages, as well as under the possible use of resistant varieties, protectant fungicides and cultural management strategies.\u00a0 However, for tomato and other host plants under wet and warm climates, the pathogen may be able to establish within those regions.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Asia<\/em>: Brunei Darussalam, China, Hong, Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia; <em>Africa<\/em>: Libya, Mauritius, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania; <em>Europe<\/em>: Greece, Spain; <em>North America<\/em>: Canada, USA (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia); <em>South America<\/em>: Brazil, Honduras, Venezuela; <em>Central America and Caribbean<\/em>: Cuba; <em>Oceania<\/em>: American Samoa (CABI, 2017; Cade\u00f1o &amp; Carrero, 1997; Farr &amp; Rossman, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> Presently, <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> is on the Harmful Organisms list for Peru (USDA-PCIT, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> has not been reported from California.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:<\/strong> None reported.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction: <\/strong>Although <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> has a wide host range that includes several economically important agricultural crops in California as well as wild solanaceous plants, the pathogen is dependent on leaf wetness for plant infection and additionally on warm temperatures for disease development.\u00a0 The disease is most severe under humid and overcast climate conditions that favor wet foliage mainly due to dew or rain.\u00a0 These conditions would allow the pathogen to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Score: <span style=\"color: #008000;\">2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; Low (1) Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8211; <strong>Medium (2)<\/strong> may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; High (3) likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Known Pest Host Range:<\/strong> <em>Stemphylium solani<\/em> has a wide host range of plants included primarily in the family Solanaceae.
