Most species that cause damage to cultivated plants belong to the genera Brevipalpus and Tenuipalpus . The most common species are Tenuipalpus [...] found on the underside of leaves where they cause a brown, scabby discolouration spreading from both sides of the main vein into the leaf blade.

Eventually this leads to the death [...] be distorted and failing to emerge from the sheath. Ear length and the number of kernels may be reduced and kernels may be brown. The symptoms do not always [...] fungus is seed-borne and this systemic infection is the only source of primary infection. The fungus spreads from the seed into the seedling. Conidia are produced

• Spotted Wing Drosophila

Each [...] tubes which stick out of the fruit. There are three larval instars and in the third instar the larvae are about 3.9 mm long. The pupae of Drosophila suzukii [...] development takes place in the fruit. The larvae pupate either fully or partly in the fruit, or outside the fruit on the ground.

• Pierce's disease of grapevine

  (peaches and plums): In peach, the canopy of infected plants is compact and umbrella-like due to the shorter internodes. The foliage is denser and the leaves [...] along the margin or the tip from early to midsummer. The necrotic area spreads over the leaf from the margin and is marked by a chlorotic band. In the beginning [...] normal and look stunted. Twigs and branches die and the foliage becomes thinner, but the trees don’t die of the disease. Olives: Scorch symptoms and desiccation

Nymphs and adults extract nutrients from the plant and disturb the balance of growth hormones [...] As a result, the plant’s growth is retarded giving rise to deformed leaves or, if the infestation occurs early enough in the season, the death of young [...] quantities of sap to get sufficient protein. The excess sugar is secreted in the form of honeydew, making the crop and its fruit sticky. Black fungal moulds (
