A fungal disease that most often appears in the summer. The disease can be identified by the appearance of brown spots on the leaves, initially insignificant - about 1 mm in diameter, gradually increasing to 2.5 mm. As a result, the foliage dries up and falls off. The fungus also affects petioles and peduncles. Diseased bushes weaken, and the yield decreases.5 ways to combat currant diseases
