Cucumber Diseases
[Image: Click here to view larger image.]

Cucumber (Cucumis spp.), like other cucurbits (melons, squash, pumpkins, etc.), are attacked by several pathogens that can result in severe crop losses. Most damage is observed on cucumber leaves and stems. Fruits can also be severely affected, resulting in overall poor quality and yield, especially if disease has already weakened the plant.
