Neocamarosporium betae explained
Neocamarosporium betae is a plant pathogen infecting Beta vulgaris (beet) and causes Phoma leaf spot.It was originally published and described in 1877 as Pleospora betae before being resolved as Neocamarosporium betae in 2015.[1] [2] It also causes leaf spot on Spinach plants.[3]
It contains the chemical substances betaenone A,[4] B and C. Pleospora betae develops on dead beet residues and is a marsupial stage of the Phoma betae anamorph, parasitizing on beets and causing a number of harmful diseases.
