PSA REMINDER Identification of symptoms Typically, the first symptom of Psa-V is leaf spot. Psa-V spots vary but also may include the symptoms listed below. • Peppery spotting. • Angular and irregular shaped spots in areas between the leaf veins. • Very dark/black coloured spots. • Spots that may or may not be surrounded by a pale yellow halo. • Spotted leaves that begin to curl. Notes • Spotting may occur 14–21 days after an infection event. (An infection event is a period of prolonged leaf wetness. The exact length is unknown but thought to be approximately 48 hours or longer). • Spotting is often seen first on strung cane. • Spots are typically across the leaf— not confined to the edges of leaves. • Infected buds may also be seen close to leaves with spotting. Secondary symptoms PSA Statistics - 21 March 2012 PSA-V + Orchards 1141 % of NZ orchards 35% Ha of affected orchards* 5929 % of NZ Hectares on affected orchards 43% A secondary symptom is the result of Psa-V progressing into the vascular tissue of the vine. This leads to a rapid decline in vine health. Secondary symptoms include the following three categories. Category 1: shoot dieback/cane collapse • Curled or dead leaf shoots. • Collapsed dehydrated canes. • Cane dieback with shrivelled fruit Notes • Curled or dead shoots may be seen first at the cane tip. Progression of shoot dieback along the cane toward the leader may follow. • The cane/shoot will generally shrivel but remain attached to the cane/leader. • Depending on the source of infection and/or time of season, red/orange exudate may also be found on the affected cane.
