📣Leaf spot diseases, pseudocercospora and septoria among others, on lilacs are causing increasing concern in eastern South Dakota.

The photo is from a recent site visit to Davison County with leaf spot/defoliation on lilac windbreaks.

These leaf spot diseases present as brown spots starting at the margins, progressing to blotches and eventually defoliation. Most of the lilacs affected so far have been used in windbreaks. Dr. Ball has looked at some windbreaks where every lilac in a row is bare except for a few leaves at the tips. These diseases require warm, humid conditions to flourish, and it has been wet and humid this year. These leaf spot diseases are not a threat to otherwise healthy shrubs. Lilacs can withstand a year of defoliation, so control is not always necessary. If the lilacs were affected last year and again this year, a fungicide application of Chlorothalonil (labeled for this use) can be made just as the leaves are opening next spring to reduce the severity of the disease.
