The rose aphid usually overwinters [...] symptoms Infestations with rose aphids retard the growth of buds and new shoots. Foliage and flowers are often disfigured and contaminated with sticky honeydew [...] before reaching adulthood. With each moult they shed white skin, betraying their presence in the crop. Wingless females of the rose aphid are 1.7-3.6 mm

Southern blight

As the damage progresses, it causes darkening and rotting of the stem, resulting in the destruction of the cortex and the main root [...] darkening and rotting of the stem, resulting in the destruction of the cortex and the main root. As a consequence, leaves higher up in the plant start yellowing [...] due to the occurrence of fungi inhabiting the soil, or associated with the seeds. In favourable conditions, these fungi cause necrosis of the young tissues

Fusarium wilt

oxysporum is the only Fusarium that actually grows inside the vessel system of the host plant and spreads upwards inside the plants. The other species [...] Fusarium oxysporum is the species causing vascular wilt. First the leaves turn yellow and wilt, mostly on one side of the plant. Finally, the whole plant wilts [...] brown discolouration of the xylem vessels which can be seen when the stems are cut. In banana, whole plantations may die and the soil may not be suitable
