'''''Phyllachora pomigena''''' is a plant pathogen responsible for [[Sooty Blotch]] disease, a disease affecting [[apples]] and [[pears]]. It appears as a brown or black blotch (¼-inch in diameter) on the fruit. Spots may coalesce to cover the entire fruit. During the summer these diseases develop during cool rainy weather, particularly in dense, unpruned trees with poor air circulation. Although unsightly, the fruit is still edible. The sooty blotch will wipe off of the fruit. [http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/pests/plant_pests/trees/hgic2000.html#flyspeck]

Phyllachora pomigena is a plant pathogen responsible for Sooty Blotch disease, a disease affecting apples and pears. It appears as a brown or black blotch (¼-inch in diameter) on the fruit. Spots may coalesce to cover the entire fruit. During the summer these diseases develop during cool rainy weather, particularly in dense, unpruned trees with poor air circulation. Although unsightly, the fruit is still edible. The sooty blotch will wipe off of the fruit. [1]
