Common diseases include blights, root rot, wilt, powdery mildew, root knot, rust and leaf spot. The plant has some susceptibility to leaf spots, blights, rusts and canker. Symptoms of wilting and blights resemble one another. While Albright Grove suffered through the various blights and infestations, it was never intensively logged. The pathogen blights leaf tissues but does not affect turf grass roots or crowns. It can be subjected to fungal leaf spots, blights on the stem, and rotting roots. Food blights have caused disastrous famines, and the Middle East is a radioactive desert. Similar to foliage symptoms, halo blights causes water-soaked spots on vegetative pods. In 2067, crop blights and dust storms threaten humanity's survival. Crops, water, and the inhabitants themselves suffer from unexplainable illnesses and blights. Accordingly, many diseases that primarily exhibit this symptom are called blights. Blights also could occur on flowers and stems. Apple blights around 1900 diminished the crop and pears began to be a major crop. Blights are often named after their causative agent. Common beans in moderate temperature regions are victims of halo blights.
