Rust, Leaf Spots, and Stem Blight Symptoms on Alfalfa and Sweet Clover

IllustrationRust, Leaf Spots, and Stem Blight: Several species of fungi often cause leaf and stem spots on alfalfa but are not considered to be serious problems. Small, brown to black circular spots on the lower leaves are the most noticeable symptom. Some of the lower leaves may turn yellow and drop. The disease can develop rapidly when moist conditions exist.
