Re: ROT, Neglect & TBs


Linda,
Erwinia carotovora is listed as the causal organism for bacterial 
soft rot int the World of Iris. As I remember from the smell when 
culturing it in plant pathology class, that must be correct.

Blights are usually the common term for diseases caused by fungi.

I've never heard of Southern blight in iris, but certainly have in 
corn (Helmenthosporium maydis).
