Abstract

Modern garden zinnias are widely cultivated ornamentals produced for cut flowers and flowerbeds. Diseases often reduce the quantity and quality of zinnia flowers, causing their production to be unprofitable. Three major, widespread diseases occurring on zinnias are: Alternaria blight (Alternaria zinniae), powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum, formerly Erysiphe cichoracearum), and bacterial leaf spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. zinniae). Other pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea, Cercospora zinniae, Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, aster yellows phytoplasma, and several viruses may also be harmful to zinnias; however, their economic impact on zinnia production is less significant. Various management strategies for zinnia diseases currently studied include chemical, biological, and physical control and integration of these methods.
