520 |a Valdensia leaf spot, caused by Valdensia heterodoxa, is a serious disease of lowbush blueberry. The disease may develop rapidly, resulting in extensive defoliation of fields. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of temperature and wetness duration on various components of the infection cycle to gain a better understanding of epidemic development that might lead to improved management practices. Lesions on leaves appeared 6 h after inoculation at 20°C and were larger on young 3-week-old leaves compared with 8-week-old leaves. Incidence of infection on 3-week-old leaves was lowest at 5°C, highest at 15 and 20°C, and failed to occur at 30°C. Defoliation began 48 h after inoculation at 20 and 25°C but was slower at higher and lower temperatures. Conidia production and release from colonized leaves began 48 h after inoculation at 15 and 19°C. Total conidia production was lowest at 7°C, highest at 15°C, and progressively declined at 19 and 23°C. Production of conidia lasted 2 to 3 days. Sclerotia formed mainly along the midveins and were similar in size at 5 to 15°C, largest at 20°C, and smallest at 25°C. Conidia formed directly on sclerotia that were overwintered outdoors and then incubated on moist filter paper. Conidia production began after 48 h at 10, 15, and 20°C. Total production was lowest at 5°C, highest at 20°C, failed to occur at 25°C, and ceased after 10 days at all temperatures. These data show that at optimal temperatures, relatively short wet periods are required for conidia production on overwintered sclerotia, infection of leaves, and subsequent conidia production on diseased leaves that may account for the sudden and rapid spread of disease in fields. The data will be useful for helping growers identify weather conditions favorable for disease development
