Symptoms
Description:
Black shank is primarily a disease of the roots and the lower stalk of the tobacco. The symptoms of black
shank vary with weather conditions, age of plants, stage of disease development, degree of plant resistance,
and virulence of the soil-borne fungal pathogen. Stunting is often the first symptom of black shank, but the
disease is seldom recognized until plants wilt. At first, wilted plants will recover in the evening hours, but later
become permanently wilted, with leaves turning yellow and hanging down the stalk. During the early stages
of disease development, an examination of the plant will show a black discoloration of one or more of the
larger roots and the interior of the lower stalk. As the disease progresses, the lower part of the stalk becomes
black near the soil line, hence the name black shank. In advanced stages of the disease, the tissues in the
center of the lower stalk become blackened, and as the pith dries, it becomes segmented into discs.
