Bot Canker or Botryosphaeria dothidea is a fungus that often affects various types of woody shrubs and trees and can cause extensive dieback. This pathogen invades through wounds in the bark, causing the formation of cankers. The cankers then expand and girdle twigs, branches, and even the trunk, leading to the eventual decline of the plant. Botryosphaeria dothidea is just one of many species of canker-causing fungi.

Anthracnose is a common fungal disease that affects a variety of plant and tree species in warm, humid areas. It affects aerial tissues, developing shoots, and expanding leaves of shrubs, trees, and other plants. This disease contaminates the usual fruit-bearing plants, deciduous and evergreen trees, grasses, and annuals. However, shade trees like sycamore, oak, maple, etc., are more susceptible to Anthracnose. So, let’s find out how this fungal disease attacks different tree and plant species.
