  • Symptoms :
    • Partial wilting of certain lower leaves at the hottest times of the day, reversible during the night.
    • Softening and progressive yellowing of sectors of the leaf blade, often interveinal and V-shaped. These eventually turn brown and become necrotic.
    • Premature death of the leaves, leaving the fruits exposed to the sun.
    • More or less marked browning of the vessels of the lower part of the stem extending over time and reaching the branches.
    • Weakening of plants or even premature death, reduction in yields.
  • Signs  : no particular signs present on the plants.
