The disease becomes mainly leaf and also spreads to the stem. The gray-white powder appeared in the leaves during the disease, which seriously affected the photosynthesis of the leaves and led to the weakness of plant growth.

Prevention and treatment: Metalaxyl or methyl topiramate can be sprayed once a week for 2-3 times in a row.
