What are examples of plant diseases that water molds cause?
Oomycetes are fungus-like eukaryotic organisms that cause "water molds." Some water molds include late blights of potatoes, sudden oak death syndromes, and the blue mold of tobacco.
What is true of cause-and-effect relationships?
An earlier event causes a late one "Apex"
What time should you water plants?
The best times to water plants is early mornings or late afternoons. Do not water plants in the afternoons, when the palnt is under direct and hot sun.

What type of microbe causes potato blight?
It depends on which type of potato blight you are referring to.Early blight -- caused by Alternaria solani, a fungal pathogen.Late blight -- caused by Phytophthora infestans, an oomycete.
Common name of Phytophthora infestans?
Potato Blight, Potato Late Blight Agent, Potato Late Blight Fungus
What organism caused the Irish patato blight?
Phytophthora infestans(known as late blight) caused the Irish potato blight.
Why did the potato blight happen?
Only very few varieties of potato were brought to Europe from the New World and so the potatoes cultivated in Europe weren't sufficiently robust to offer strong resistance to diseases, since they lacked genetic diversity. The European potato was, therefore, unable to fight the potato blight, or late blight, and many crops were destroyed. The impact was most felt in Ireland, which had become highly dependent on potatoes: the country lost about a quarter of its population.
How did they get to the new world potato famie?
Potatoes are native to the New World, specifically the Americas, and were brought to Europe from there by the Spanish. Is that your question? If your question is about potato famines, the best-known and most drastic and far-reaching was the Irish Potato Famine, between 1845 and 1852. It was caused by a disease known as potato blight, or late blight, which affected potato crops all over Europe. It is generally considered the blight had such a devastating effect because only a very few varieties of potatoes were brought to Europe from the New World and so those farmed in Europe had no real resistance to the disease, which spread rapidly as a result.

What does tomato blight look like?
There are several varieties of tomato blight, many of which are readily distinguishable from each other as well as conditions caused by water or nutrient deficiencies. "THE blight," however, usually refers to late season blight, aka potato blight. It is the primary killer of autumn and winter tomato crops, made even more hazardous by the fact that, as its more colloquial name implies, it can also infect and spread among several other edible plants, most infamously potato crops (having caused the Irish Potato Famine). Distinguishing between late season blight and a less threatening disease that causes similar symptoms in tomato plants, Septoria Leaf Spot, is critical to determining whether diseased tomatoes should be sprayed in an effort to control the disease, or destroyed quickly before an entire community's winter food supply is wiped out. Symptoms of late season blight are the initial appearance of moist brown spots on leaves and fruits. As these spots grow, they become thin brown rings surrounding an irregularly shaped greasy gray area. Eventually the gray areas on the leaves turn dry and papery, though they do not usually fall out as with other types of blight. Black spots may appear on stems as the blight spreads, and in especially damp areas a white fungus may develop on the brown ring surrounding the gray matter. Eventually the leaves turn yellow and die, while the fruits fall from the plant early and become breeding grounds for even more blight. Septoria leaf spot is nearly identical in appearance to late season blight, differing only slightly in pattern of attack (spreading to older leaves and stems earlier than blight). The one distinct difference is the fact that the gray areas on the fruit and leaves develop tiny raised brown pimple-like growths, which are essentially a fruiting body for the leaf spot fungus that late season blight lacks.

Name the pathogens of the Late Potato Blight and African sleeping sickness?
These are two different diseases and they have two different pathogens. African Sleeping Sickness is caused by African Trypanosomaisis. Potato Blight is a fungus called Phytophthora infestans. This infection caused the Great Irish Famine of the late 1800's with many dying and millions leaving Ireland.
What caused the potatoes in Ireland to rot?
The potato crop failures were caused by late blight, which destroyed both the leaves and the edible tubers, of the potato plant. It is thought that wet conditions over more than one growing season enabled the blight, Phytophthora infestans, to thrive with devastating results.About as many as two million Irish people emigrated during the famine. It is thought that about one million people died from starvation or other famine-related diseases, one disease being typhus.
Type of meal the puritanism had in1600's?
