Brown Spot Of Passion Fruit, R F. Doepel
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Brown Spot is a serious fungal disease of passion fruit in this State.
Successful crop production is dependent on adequate disease control in the plantation.
BROWN SPOT is found in plantings throughout Western Australia. Severe outbreaks of the disease have occurred in most districts, including Serpentine, Manjimup, Nannup and Denmark.
Although isolated young plantings may remain healthy for two or three years, the disease eventually becomes established in the vines.

Plant Diseases : Leaf Spot Of Celery, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
LEAF SPOT is the most serious disease of celery in Western Australia, and causes heavy losses in many crops during the cold wet months of June, July and August.
The disease is incited by the fungus Septoria apii Chester, and was first recorded in this State at Osborne Park in 1923.
Since then it has become a limiting factor in the production of marketable celery during the winter months.
