date:Aug 24, 2017
a microorganism that is present in the environment, and when it finds a humid environment, suitable for its growth, it begins to infect the crops. It is not specialised in a single one, but is usually found in tomatoes, grapes, strawberries and plums, from where it can feed and damage the plants.
