CURRANT DISEASES 
Anthracnose 
Pseudopeziza ribis 
H. 8S. JAcKSson 
Currant anthracnose seems to be the 
most common fungous disease of this 
fruit which occurs on the Pacific coast. 
It seems to be widely distributed in the 
state and is generally known throughout 
the United States. It is also common in 
Europe. This disease is known to attack 
the gooseberry, but usually not in a seri- 
ous form. It is more severe upon the red 
and white currants than upon the black. 
White Dutch, 
Symptoms 
The disease is primarily a leaf disease, 
though it may grow upon practically all 
parts of the plant above ground including 
the fruit. On the leaf the disease causes 
small brown spots which are more or less 
thickly scattered. When abundant the 
affected leaves turn yellow and fall. This 
disease is probably the cause of much of 
the premature defoliation of currants. 
The general effect of the fungus is to 
interfere with the proper development of 
the fruit and generally to reduce the 
vitality of the plants, thus interfering 
with the proper ripening of the fruit and 
the formation of the fruit buds for the 
next year. Spots of the disease may also 
occur upon the petioles and young canes 
and upon the fruit stalks and young
