    “Cercospora citrullina is a recognized cucurbit foliar pathogen; sponge gourd (Luffa) is a cucurbit, so leaf-spot host record in tropical Guam is biologically reasonable.”

  • plant-pathologist · plausible

    “Cercospora citrullina is a documented cucurbit leaf-spot pathogen affecting Luffa and other Cucurbitaceae; direction and leaf affected_part match standard pathology.”
